I've never drank coffee in my life. I know it's difficult to imagine someone who recently graduated from college who's never had coffee, but there it is. Looking at this article though, it seems like drinking coffee may have some benefits.
In a recent issue of Hepatology, research has concluded that drinking two or more cups of coffee a day reduces risk of death from liver cirrhosis by as much as 66%
These results come from the Singapore Chinese Health Study, which monitored the health of over 63,000 people from the ages of 45 to 74 from 1993 to 1998. During this period, 114 died from liver cirrhosis.
The findings indicate that drinking at least 20 g of ethanol daily highly increased the risk of liver cirrhosis, while subjects who drank at least two cups of coffee had a much reduced risk of liver cirrhosis.
Liver cirrhosis has been identified as the 11th leading cause of death in the United States by the World Health Organization, with the disease attributed to 1.3% of deaths worldwide.
