The latest US research: drinking coffee can protect the liver

A new study has found that drinking coffee is good for the liver, even decaffeinated coffee has a protective effect, according to the Health Day website.

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute surveyed 28000 people over the age of 20. On the one hand, the researchers analyzed their coffee consumption habits in detail; on the other hand, the researchers measured the levels of enzymes in the blood of the subjects associated with liver health. It was found that people who drank more than three cups of coffee a day, including decaffeinated coffee, had lower levels of enzymes and better liver health. They speculate that some ingredients in coffee can improve liver health, but not caffeine. Dr. David Burnstein, director of hepatology at North Shore University Hospital in Manhattan, New York, said that a number of studies have shown the hepatoprotective effect of coffee, and it can even prevent liver cancer, but which ingredient plays a role needs to be further confirmed.
