(new YORK (Reuters)-drinking two cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of liver cancer by 43 percent, according to research.

Dr. Lasson and Dr. Volcker of the Karolinska College of Medicine in Sweden jointly published a report in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, pointing out that the medical community has accumulated a lot of research data over the past 20 years on the potential benefits of coffee on liver function and liver disease; several studies have found that coffee drinking is inversely proportional to liver enzyme levels, which are associated with chronic liver disease and liver cirrhosis.

The researchers then conducted a large-scale review of published epidemiological studies to find out the relationship between coffee drinking and the risk of liver cancer. They conducted a consolidated analysis of the results of 11 studies involving 2260 patients with liver cancer and 230000 9146 healthy people who were used for comparative studies.

The researchers found that all studies showed that coffee drinking was inversely proportional to the risk of liver cancer, and the relationship was particularly pronounced in six of the studies.

Lasson and Volcker point out that coffee contains large amounts of antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid (chlorogenic acid), which can fight oxidative stress (oxidative stress) and prevent the formation of carcinogens. In addition, experiments in animals have clearly shown that coffee and chlorogenic acid have an inhibitory effect on liver cancer.
