Scientists have found another reason to love coffee in the morning. It turned out that in the long term, the drink can bring health benefits and even potentially reduce the risk of developing liver cancer.

However, according to gastroenterologist Jamila Wakim-Fleming from the Cleveland Clinic, the work of this organ is underestimated by many. Liver dysfunction can lead to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which can lead to cirrhosis, cancer, and liver failure.

The good news is that coffee can have a significant effect on preventing these diseases. The drink is especially useful for obesity, hepatitis C or cirrhosis. Although all of this is related to complex physiological processes, Wakim-Fleming emphasized that all the benefits of coffee for the liver boil down to one basic fact: coffee contains antioxidants and other important compounds that can reduce inflammation in the body.

For according to Wakim-Fleming, black coffee is considered ideal, since adding cream or sugar to it leads to an increase in fat deposits and stress on the liver. “If you don't like black coffee, replace the sugar with honey, and add skim or plant-based milk instead of cream,” she advised. with its absence in the diet is associated with a 40 percent reduction in the risk of liver cancer. Other studies have found a 25-70% reduction in the risk of cirrhosis.
