Study- Coffee Is Good for Your Liver. Decaf or Regular

How much coffee do you drink every day? I drink about the equivalent of 3 cups, with my french press. - Alan

Drinking decaffeinated coffee is just as helpful as drinking regular coffee is for maintaining a healthy liver.

Regardless of whether they drank decaf or regular, people in the study who drank large quantities of coffee (three or more cups of coffee) on a daily basis had lower levels of abnormal liver enzymes. This suggests that a chemical in coffee other than caffeine may help the liver.

Other studies have found that drinking coffee is associated with lower risks of developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis and liver cancer.
