Coffee and Tea to Reduce Liver Risk

Researchers reported that coffee and tea may reduce the risk of liver damage, that is resulted by overweight, excessive alcohol intake and having too much iron in the blood.

As reported in XinHua:

The study, conducted by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and Social & Scientific Systems, Inc., found that coffee provided no protection to people at risk of liver disease from other causes, such as viral infections.

"While it is too soon to encourage patients to increase their coffee and tea intake, the findings of our study potentially offer people at high-risk for developing chronic liver disease a practical way to decrease that risk," said Dr. Constance Ruhl, who helped lead the study.
