Coffee consumption prevents liver cancer development

Abstract

Abhishek Bhurwal

Coffee consumption has its benefits on human health. In the specific area of hepatology, previous studies have suggested that coffee
decreases liver enzymes and inhibits progression of liver fibrosis. Additionally, in a recent systematic review and meta-analysis, coffee
consumption was shown to have an inverse association with the development of liver cancer. That well-designed study suggested that coffee
drinking would be beneficial in terms of preventing liver cancer. Coffee drinkers at risk of developing hepatocellular cancer should consider the
potential benefits of drinking coffee.
