Coffee appears to be highly beneficial for the liver.
Studies show that coffee drinkers have up to an 80% lower risk of cirrhosis, advanced liver diseases where liver tissue has been replaced with scar tissue (13, 14).
But even more importantly, coffee appears to lower your risk of liver cancer, which is actually the second most common cause of cancer death worldwide.
In a study from Japan, people who drank 2-4 cups of coffee per day had a 43% lower risk of liver cancer. Those who drank 5 or more cups had a 76% lower risk (15).
Many other studies agree with this… coffee drinkers get less liver cancer than people who don’t drink coffee. A clear dose-response relationship is found
Coffee appears to have major benefits for liver health. Coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of cirrhosis, as well as liver cancer, which is the second most common cause of cancer death worldwide.
