Coffee can save alcohol drinkers from cirrhosis
By Nigel Hawkes, Health Editor - http://www.timesonline.co.uk
DRINKING three or more cups of coffee a day can almost halve the risk
of cirrhosis of the liver, according to a new study in Norway. The
protective effect applies even among alcohol drinkers, whose risk of
cirrhosis is much greater.
But trying to compensate for excessive alcohol consumption by drinking
lots of coffee is unlikely to work. Seven or eight cups a day provide
no more protection against cirrhosis than do three.
