Drinking coffee saves liver from alcohol damage
Drinking lots of coffee saves the liver from alcohol damage, research finds
Drinking as little as one cup of coffee a day could help protect you from liver disease caused by alcohol, according to research published today.
People who drink one cup of coffee are 20% less likely to have alcoholic cirrhosis than those who abstain from doing so.
And the protective effect increases with the more coffee you drink: People who drink two or three cups a day are 40% less likely to contract cirrhosis, while those who drink four or more cups are 80% less likely to suffer the disease.
Drinking tea had no effect, suggesting the ingredient that protects against cirrhosis is not caffeine.
