- The study analyzed diet and health data from nearly 355,000 adults in the UK Biobank.
- After about 13 years, daily consumers of at least five cups had a 47 percent lower liver cancer risk than non-drinkers.
- Five or more daily cups were also associated with 32 percent lower cirrhosis risk and 42 percent fewer liver-related deaths.
- The association appeared with regular and decaffeinated coffee, as well as smaller amounts; further studies are needed.
Coffee is a complex mixture containing hundreds of biologically active compounds—not only caffeine.— Hyunseok Kim, MD, PhD, lead study author and transplant hepatologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (quoted in the Women's Health article on coffee and liver health).
