Whether coffee is brewed with a strong fragrance or a mellow taste, it is difficult for coffee lovers to extricate themselves. more importantly, apart from the enjoyment of smell and taste, recent studies have pointed out that coffee has the effects of anti-aging and anti-oxidation and preventing a variety of diseases. And a new large study even pointed out that coffee is expected to reduce the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma by up to 50%!

Drinking coffee reduces the risk of liver cancer, and is not limited to regular coffee. Instant coffee may also be effective.

A large study published in the British Journal of Cancer (British Journal of Cancer) in May 2019 found that drinking coffee is expected to reduce the risk of liver cancer, and that instant coffee and general coffee may be effective.

The study conducted a questionnaire and a 7.5-year follow-up survey on the relationship between coffee drinking habits and digestive system cancer among 470000 British residents, of whom about 3.5, 000 had related cancers. It was found that among many cancers of the digestive system, drinking coffee may help to reduce the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma by 50%, while instant coffee can reduce the risk of hepatocellular cancer by about 49% according to the type of coffee. Regular coffee made with coffee bean flour can reduce the risk of hepatocellular cancer by about 53%.

The mechanism of coffee preventing liver cancer has not been determined so far.

Another study conducted by institutions such as the University of Southampton (University of Southampton) in the UK in May 2017 also found that, depending on the method of the study, drinking two cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of hepatocellular cancer by 47%. Although the effect of coffee in preventing liver cancer is still not fully understood, it may be related to the following reasons:

Caffeine has the effect of antioxidation and can hinder the proliferation of cancer cells.

Some ingredients other than caffeine may have the ability to reduce the genetic damage caused by carcinogens.

The polyphenols in coffee can help reduce oxidative stress (Oxidative Stress) damage to genes.

Caffeine (cafestol) and caffeinol (kahweol) may promote the excretion of carcinogens in vitro.

Drinking coffee is expected to help reduce the risk of liver cirrhosis, the leading cause of liver cancer.

Caffeine can help reduce hepatitis virus activity and reduce the risk of liver cirrhosis.

Drinking coffee is expected to reduce the risk of diabetes, which also increases the risk of liver cancer. A study in the United States has found that people with diabetes are three times more likely to develop liver cancer.

In addition, information from the Prevention Research Group of the Social and Health Research Center of the Japanese Cancer Research Center also shows that Japan has also conducted a study on the relationship between coffee and liver cancer and found that people who drink one cup of coffee almost every day have halved their risk of developing liver cancer, and those who drink more than five cups of coffee a day can significantly reduce the risk to only 1/4, which may be effective for both men and women.

The mechanism of drinking coffee against liver cancer can not be clearly pointed out in this study, but it may be related to the fact that coffee can ease inflammation and prevent the deterioration of hepatitis; it may also be related to chlorogenic acid, a powerful antioxidant in coffee: it has been found in animal experiments that chlorogenic acid can prevent liver cancer.

In addition, caffeine can help prevent diabetes, so it may also have the effect of preventing liver cancer, but some studies have tested it with green tea containing the same amount of caffeine, but it has not been found to have a significant anti-liver cancer effect. therefore, the mechanism of coffee preventing liver cancer is still inconclusive.
