- The study, published in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, followed over 335,000 healthy participants for approximately 13 years.
- The researchers reported that drinking five or more cups of coffee daily was associated with a 32% lower risk of liver fibrosis, a 47% lower risk of liver cancer, and a 42% lower risk of death from liver disease.
