  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined how coffee consumption affects the risk of developing liver cirrhosis, involving data from studies published up to July 2015.
  • The findings show that drinking two more cups of coffee daily is associated with roughly a 44-58% reduction in the risk of cirrhosis, including alcoholic cirrhosis and deaths from cirrhosis.
  • Overall, the evidence suggests that increasing coffee intake could significantly lower the risk of developing cirrhosis, supporting its potential protective effects on liver health.

@varoun3883 It is based on this association study from 2016, not proven causality. Risk of progression of liver disease reduces with 3-4 cups, but there is no definitive causation as the post mentions. https://t.co/V18pib78Wk

@GidMK Just saw a conference report that cites this metaanalysis, which shows fairly large apparent protection against cirrhosis. As I don't drink much coffee I'll leave you to tell others if the conclusion is sound. @ZaniaStamataki https://t.co/4i5ZVSPtN4
