People who drink any type of coffee, caffeinated or not, are less likely to develop or die from chronic liver disease than those who don’t drink the beverage, a UK study shows.

Compared to non-coffee drinkers, coffee drinkers had a 21% reduced risk of chronic liver disease, a 20% reduced risk of chronic liver disease or steatosis, a 20% reduced risk of hepatocellular carcinoma and a 49% reduced risk of death from chronic liver disease.
