A new study found a connection between coffee consumption and liver disease. Here’s what you need to know.

================================================================================

There’s a lot of information out there regarding coffee and its impact on your health. Recently, a lot of new studies have shown that it’s not all bad when it comes to your caffeine habit; drinking moderate amounts of coffee has been linked with decreased cancer odds, promoting fat burn, and more. Now, there’s a study that links the consumption of coffee with preventing liver disease.

Published in the journal BMC Public Health, the study tracked the development of liver disease in more than 495,000 people for a decade. Participants who drank coffee had 21% less chance of developing chronic liver disease when compared to non-coffee drinkers. Twenty-percent of coffee drinkers also had reduced risk of developing chronic or fatty liver disease.

One of the study’s most interesting findings indicates that if coffee drinkers contracted any type of liver disease, they were much less likely to die from it.

“Coffee is widely accessible and the benefits we see from our study may mean it could offer a potential preventative treatment for chronic liver disease,” said the study’s authors.

Benefits were stronger for people who consumed ground coffee as opposed to instant coffee. Researchers explain that ground coffee contains higher levels of kahweol and cafestol, elements that have appeared to be beneficial for liver health in different animal studies.

While this is good news for coffee drinkers, study authors warn that coffee consumption was reported when participants first enrolled in the study. Researchers didn’t account for any changes in amount or type of coffee that was consumed over the 10 years that the study took to be published.

Researchers also note that participants were predominantly white and from a higher socio-economic background, making it difficult to apply these results to a variety of countries and populations.

Future research could help better understand the link that exists between coffee and liver health, hopefully shedding a light on how to prevent or treat this illness with a drink that the majority of people encounter on their everyday to day life.

Coffee is good for the health of my employees.

After my second cup I no longer want to beat their cheery butts.

Maybe.

They are in their twenties which is an age were you do not hurt yourself while sleeping.

“Bartender, better make that an Irish Coffee.”

The whipped cream I keep in the fridge is for medicinal purposes.

I used to hate the bitterness in coffee too. Those were the days when coffee was perculated. Once the drip coffee makers came to us, I discovered I liked coffee, it wasn’t bitter. You can make it by the cup or by the pot, and as strong as your heart’s desire.

However, burned coffee is horrid. So, I shut my pot off so that the burner can’t keep cooking the coffee. As a result, each cup tastes as good as that first cup. In the winter, I can reheat the cup in the microwave as long as its not over heated. In summer, I pour it over ice cubes with sweetner and cream and have a refreshing iced coffee. Ummm, delicious!

I do have to watch that evening coffee because then it can give me intense heartburn.

The bitterness in coffee (and beer) is an acquired taste. At first it may be hard to take, then one gets used to it and eventually craves the taste. I used to love strong black coffee, and I liked it when there were several flavors present, as in a fine wine. A few years ago, I had a violent attack of nausea. The last thing I'd had was some strong, rather bitter coffee at a function I was attending. I actually liked the coffee, but when I started getting sick later, the acidity of the coffee seemed to make it worse. I didn't drink coffee for weeks after, and when I did, I found I needed cream to tone down the bitterness. I still drink the coffee strong so that the cream does not completely overwhelm the coffee flavor.

I love K-cups because every cup is fresh-brewed cup. There are a gazillion brands, strengths, flavors available. I like Peet's Major Dickason brand.

I’ve never got what I consider ‘strong coffee’ from a K-cup.

Closest is Death Wish K-cups, but not really worth the money for K-cups. By contrast, regular brewed Death Wish is DY-NO-MITE.

It takes some trial and error to find strong K-cups. Some coffees that are strong in ground or bean form are not strong in K-cup form. Also, some machines have different settings. Our home unit has a “strong coffee” setting which runs slower and steeps the coffee longer. Also, one can vary the cup size. I usually set mine for 8 oz; my wife prefers 10 oz. The Peet’s that I like is pretty strong. My wife likes the Costco Pacific Bold. Any nationally known brand like Folger’s will be pretty weak in K-cups.
