Caffeine has a lot of negative views on health, some people say that drinking coffee will hurt the liver, and listen to the infection authority Dr. Li Bingying what to say.

Coffee does not hurt the liver, but protects it.

Coffee does not hurt the liver, but protects it.

The liver is home to the metabolism of various substances, including caffeine, so the ability of the liver to process caffeine can reflect the health of the liver. It seems reasonable to infer that coffee may damage the liver. But if you look at the recent research data, you will find that the truth is quite the opposite.

Many early studies have found that caffeine can reduce the inflammation and damage of the liver if caffeine is given at the same time after the liver is damaged by toxins. In 2005, two important studies in the United States pointed out that drinking coffee can reduce the rate of abnormal liver function, and that those who drink more than two cups of coffee a day will reduce the incidence of chronic liver disease by about 60%, especially in patients with alcohol addiction, obesity, diabetes and so on. The reports, published in the most classic international journal of Gastroenterology (Gastroenterology), represent that mainstream medicine has accepted the idea that coffee can "protect the liver".

Similarly, coffee can also reduce the incidence of liver cancer. In 2007, a comprehensive analysis of ten related studies found that coffee drinkers were about 40% to 50% less likely to develop liver cancer than the general population. So, coffee doesn't hurt the liver. In Taiwan, where chronic hepatitis B is prevalent, the emergence of many coffee shops may be a good thing.
