Coffee does so much more than just keeping you awake. Researchers from the University of Southampton and the University of Edinburgh have found that coffee of either the caffeinated or decaffeinated kind effectively reduces the risk of liver cancer. They determined this by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of previous publications regarding the topic.
From this study, the researchers found that drinking either caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee significantly reduces the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma by at least 33 percent. Moreover, they found that these benefits were achieved when an extra two cups of coffee are consumed each day.
