A recent study found that drinking more coffee is associated with lower risk for cirrhosis.
Drinking one cup of coffee per day was shown to be linked with a 22% reduced risk for cirrhosis, a liver disease that is often caused by heavy alcohol consumption.
Two daily cups were associated with a 43% reduced risk, three cups with 57% reduced risk, and four cups with 65% reduced risk.
Those who consumed six or more cups per day had a 22% lower risk of diabetes. A large number of review studies have found that every additional cup of coffee one drinks per day was correlated with a 7% reduced risk for developing Type 2 diabetes.Decaf coffee decreased risk by 6% per cup.
A study found that participants who consumed 3 to 5 cups of coffee a day were less likely to show the beginning signs of heart disease.
There is some evidence that coffee may support heart health by protecting against arterial damage caused by inflammation.
