Coffee. It does a liver good. And seemingly, more is better.
I read an article today, but will not link because the source may ruffle feathers. So, DYOR. But this got me fired up:
"Participants who drank one to two cups of coffee daily showed a 20% lower risk of developing cirrhosis and a 31% lower risk of liver-related mortality compared to non-coffee drinkers.
The protective effects became even more noticeable at higher levels of consumption.
Individuals who drank five or more cups of coffee per day experienced a 32% reduction in cirrhosis risk, a 42% lower risk of liver-related death and a 47% lower risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common form of primary liver cancer."
And decaf counts! Which is a big "YES!" for me, as arrythmia forced me to give up the good stuff over a year ago. So, I'm hoping all of the coffee will counteract all of the beer. That's my plan because the beer is staying.
Hmmm...I wonder... if I drank a GALLON of decaf a day...would I live forever?

That article is similar, but better than the one I read.**
