KANKER heart seems more rarely found in coffee drinker compared with the people who do not drink coffee. However the report published in the journal Hepatology and August edition, which displays the findings from 10 studies on the relationship between coffee and liver cancer. 

Studies that re-examined by the researchers, including Francesca Bravi of the Istituto Ricerche Farmacologiche in Milan, Italy. Studies include the entire 2,260 people with liver cancer and 240,000 people without liver cancer. The participants live in Greece, Italy and Japan. Participants reported on their drinking habits of coffee. 

The data show that coffee drinker seems 41 percent fewer diagnosed liver cancer compared with people who do not drink coffee. For each cup of coffee drunk, the number of possible liver cancer diagnosis decreased to 23 percent! Some study defines consumption as much as 3 cups of coffee or more per day. The other set on the number lower, not more than 1 cup per day. 

In fact, liver cancer occurs more frequently in the coffee drinker in all countries (Greece, Italy, and Japan). Researchers said the findings that this is not a coincidence or a local phenomenon. They speculate that coffee repair enzyme and cut the liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. However, the team Bravi not promise that drinking coffee will prevent liver cancer. So, whether drinking coffee does not prevent cancer or heart, the more in-depth research is still needed to be done.
