Drinking Coffee May Lower Liver Cancer Risk
More evidence to support healthy coffee. Now researchers find that it may lower the risk of liver cancer.
A new epidemiological study conducted in Japan confirmed a previous finding that drinking coffee may lower the risk of death from liver cancer.
When all factors were taken into consideration, the researchers found that the hazard ratio of hepatocellurlar carcinoma mortality for those who drank one or more cups a day versus those who did not drink coffee was 0.50. The hazard ratio for those who drank less than one cup a day versus those who did not drink coffee was 0.83.
The results confirmed an inverse association between coffee consumption and hepatocellular carcinoma mortality. One earlier study reported in April 2005 by U. Gelatti and colleagues in Italy found the inverse association between coffee drinking and heptatocellular carcinoma. Read full article.
