Australian study found that drinking the right amount of coffee every day can reduce liver disease

A study of 1100 patients with liver disease by the Monash University (Monash University) Health Clinic (Health Clinic) found that drinking two or more cups of coffee a day can reduce liver disease, according to a report by Australia's New Express on November 17.

Dr. Alex Hodge, a liver specialist at the health clinic, presented the findings this week at the annual meeting of the American Association for the study of liver Diseases (American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases) in San Francisco, the Times reported. "A moderate amount of coffee can reduce liver damage and liver fat."

Drinking two cups of coffee a day can reduce the damage caused by hepatitis C by up to 13 percent, and drinking four cups of coffee a day can reduce the symptoms of fatty liver by 24 percent, the researchers said. Fatty liver is the most common liver disease, affecting about 40% of Australians. In addition, the study found that coffee reduced a patient's condition, even after taking into account other risk factors such as weight, heavy drinking and smoking.

It is reported that 6 million Australians are currently suffering from some kind of liver disease, the most common of which are fatty liver, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. "patients with hepatitis C have the most significant results," Hodge said of the study. "drinking two or more cups of coffee a day can lead to an improvement in their liver disease."

Interestingly, Hodge did not find the same effect when analyzing the effects of tea drinking on liver patients. The study does not understand how coffee can help liver patients improve their condition. "caffeine must have some effect, but there may be many other factors that play a role, more than one thing." Hodge said. Past studies have shown that the health benefits of coffee stem from caffeine and other factors. "decaffeinated coffee also has some benefits, but it's not as big as caffeinated coffee," Hodge said. "
