Good news for coffee lovers ☕: Drinking more than three cups of caffeinated coffee a day is associated with fewer liver problems, a mew study finds.
Those who drank more than three cups of coffee daily had a lower liver stiffness measure measured in what’s known as kilopascals. Liver stiffness higher than 9.5 kilopascals is a sign of liver fibrosis, which can lead to cirrhosis.“There are hepatologists around the world who are actively recommending coffee – they’ll feel empowered by these data,” he said. “I would still like to see more … data before I start spending our precious time counseling patients about coffee.
“For patients who are very interested in a natural supplement, to feel like they’re taking an active role in the health of their liver, I will tell them to avoid carbohydrates and increase their exercise – and that it is OK to add coffee to their daily routine.”
