The news from Coffee Lover comes as medical experts report record levels of fatty liver disease among Americans. Diagnoses of the disease have risen more than 130 percent over the past three decades, according to U.S. News and World Report. Fatty liver disease develops when excess fat starts being stored in the liver, which can lead to inflammation and scarring. It can also put individuals at risk for liver failure, cirrhosis, and cancer.
Consuming coffee may help to ward off fatty liver disease, as well as chronic liver disease, according to the report from Coffee Lover. Digesting the caffeine found in the drink produces a chemical that slows scar tissue growth in fatty liver disease.
But it’s not just caffeinated brew that benefits the liver. Other compounds in the coffee, such as chlorogenic acid and other antioxidants, reduce inflammation and stress on the liver, according to the report. Both of these problems can contribute to several liver diseases, including liver cancer. In fact, drinking one cup per day may reduce the chances of the most common type of liver cancer by up to 20 percent.
Individuals who consume between three and four cups of coffee per day may also reduce their chances of developing chronic liver disease, according to observational studies. One study indicated risks may be cut by up to 50 percent.
Coffee alone won’t fix a damaged or diseased liver, but seems to have preventative health benefits, according to Coffee Lover. The custom bean roasting company encourages moderate coffee drinking in addition to a healthy diet and exercise.
“The key is moderate consumption, whether you prefer coffee made from coffee beans or are more into instant or ground coffee,” a company representative said. “It’s important to remember that coffee should be a part of a healthy diet, not a replacement for one.”
