Researchers found links between higher coffee intake and lower rates of liver scarring, liver cancer and death from liver disease. Cirrhosis can develop after years of heavy alcohol use, fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis or other conditions and can eventually lead to liver failure or liver cancer. Those consuming five or more cups a day had a 32% lower risk of cirrhosis, a 47% lower risk of liver cancer and a 42% lower risk of dying from liver disease. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, formerly widely known as fatty liver disease, has become increasingly common alongside obesity and type 2 diabetes. If you care about liver health, please read studies about a diet that can treat fatty liver disease and obesity, and coffee drinkers may halve their risk of liver cancer.
