Caffeine Prevents Liver Disease
DC Jeff writes "The Washington Post reports that drinking two cups of coffee or tea daily may reduce the risk of liver disease. From the article: 'The study of nearly 10,000 people showed that those who drank more than two cups of coffee or tea per day developed chronic liver disease at half the rate of those who drank less than one cup each day.'"

We'll all be healthy and alert. Positively jumping with pep, vim and vigor. Ready to take on whatever the day throws our way, right? The only problem is the body compensates for caffeine and after the first dose it has a lesser impact. I can atest to nodding off with an empty coffee mug in front of me. Who knows, thought, it could explain the bit about the englishmen going out in the noon-day sun.
It's a bit thin on detail. I wonder why caffeinated sodas aren't mentioned. You could be trading your teeth for a healthier liver, right? Too bad George Best didn't know about this sooner. This should bode well for the market of caffeinated beer.

How many people in the study were killed off by high blood pressure before they had the chance to develop cancer?
Green tea has caffeine just like coffee but has immeasurably more benefits, such as reducing the likelihood of all kinds of cancers and tumors. Further, it has been shown in some studies to do more good for the heart than a glass of wine every day. All coffee has is caffeine.
Highly caffeinated and highly medicated.

"Vinson and his team studied the content of antioxidants in various foods, like vegetables, fruits, tea and cocoa. They eventually decided to look at coffee as well. When they did, they found that both regular and decaffeinated coffee contain significant amounts of antioxidants, though Vinson does note that fruits and vegetables are more nutritious sources.
What kind of health benefits can people expect to receive from drinking coffee? According to Martin, "Predominantly in epidemiologic studies, there have been associations between coffee consumption and lowered rates of certain illnesses, like suicide, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, Type II diabetes, colon cancer and heart disease." (Epidemiologic studies are often historical trials that are not considered definitive by clinicians.)"

Recent studies have shown that coffee (caffeinated, not decaf) has as high or higher antioxidant levels than tea. (Unfortunately I don't have a link to the study, its at home and I'm at work... check Google news)And as a previous poster noted you'd have to drink a helluva lot of tea to get the same amount of caffeine.

I assume that they fall into the 'those who drank less than one cup each day' category, but TFA is way to generalized to really reveal any useful information.

The incidence of liver disease among non-hepatitis infected people is incredibly small. If you take all comers it is 12th among cause of death (lower than suicde) according to the NIH (pdf of causes of death).
Because even if the result is statistically significant, if not that many people die of it (~2500 in 2003), then the harm caused by this drug (caffine) may not outway the rare case it saves (and yes, I understand if you're the one it is significant, but this is public health)
For instance "Zipia reduces aliens ripping out of your abdomen by 99%" sounds very impressive, until you look at how many people this would affect (there were the 4 alien movies plus spaceballs). So everyone should not start using zipia, which undoubtably will cause some bad side effect, versus those few actors who would be saved.

"I'd rather be a lightning rod than a seismometer." -Ken Kesey
I grow tired of these kinds of "studies", those that say drinking beer, wine, tea, coffee, coke, or even smoking have some benefits. Especially when they start saying that 1 or 2 cups or servings of someting will prevent something else.
These studies are generally aimed at foods or products that are generally considered to be unhealthy or otherwise, the people making these products are in a defensive position to try and validate their existence.
The problem is that there are those people just waiting for an excuse to over-indulge in these products. If drinking 2 cups of beer a day prevents cancer, then by drinking 12 I will live to 100, right?
Often people just read the caption without reading the entire article, or in many cases, the finer points of the study are excluded to a terse clipping of the conclusion without preventing the facts, those facts usually explaining how overindulgence could cause adverse medical problems. This is the case here in Slashdot where many people simply read the blurb without delving into the hyperlinked article.
Also, these studies are usually contradictory to other studies. Recently it was reported on Slashdot that drinking even one cup of coffee was linked to some kind of adverse health issue. The studies conflict each other, meaning that the truth of the matter is never effectively conveyed by both parties. People that love coffee will be quicker to believe that it is more beneficial to them then those that don't drink it, who would quote coffee is harmful to you.
Lastely, these studdies generally ignore other serious health issues that might go along with the consumption. Like the fact that most people take cream and sugar in their coffee. Many people in Canada love their double/doubles (2 creams and 2 sugars). This study suggests that drinking two cups of coffee a day has positive health effects, but for those that like cream and sugar in their coffee, this means drinking in addition to the coffee, one will consume 4 servings of high fat cream and 4 teaspoons of suger. The high fat in cream and excessive calories of the sugar are sure to be more harmful to your health then whatever positive effects the coffee may have on your health. Those that feel more is better will consume more high fat cream and high calorie sugars which will exponentially have a negative effect on their health, in addition to ignoring disclaimers by the study that too much coffee could have a detrimental effect.
Finally, there are those people who consider themselves well learned and so propose that its the caffine in coffee that is beneficial, so drinking a couple cups of cola should also be beneficial, or popping a couple of caffine pills or those high-caf beverages. The study mentions that drinking 2 cups of coffee or tea a day is beneficial, but the Slashdot article only says that Caffeine prevents liver disease, a discrepancy in the facts presented.
In any case, one should never blindly use these articles as an excuse to continue or start a bad habit. There are MANY healthy ways to prevent Liver Disease, drinking two cups of coffee a days to cure a hangover after consuming an excess of alcohol the previous night probably won't have a positive effect on your liver.
I haven't thought of anything clever to put here, but then again most of you haven't either.

"Look Lois, the two symbols of the Republican Party: an elephant, and a fat white guy who is threatened by change."
They're a bit light on numbers in the article. If only 3 people had liver damage, and only one was a big coffee drinker, how does that show anything meaningful?
A person who drinks more coffee will tend to drink less alcohol. Less alcohol consumption helps maintain a healthy liver.
The article doesn't actually back up that it's caffeine that prevents liver disease. It simply shows that *coffee or tea* prevent it. I wonder what other common substances (besides water) they have in them that could alternatively be providing the benefits.
I think a good follow-on study might be to try caffeine pills vs placebos - although since we're talking about preventing disease rather than curing it, that study could take a generation or more.

Maybe these studies should look at why people who prefer one type of drink over another are developing a disease. Instead of saying that one drink or another prevents a disease. Could it be that people who are prone to liver disease are less likely to prefer caffinated drinks? I think at this stage in the study this answer is more likely than the "caffeine prevents liver disease" headline.

This article obviously wasn't meant for much more than a quick conversation piece. There is litte, if any, scientific data presented.
In general, coffee is quite a bit more caffinated than tea. Brewed coffee is around 135mg, instant around 95mg, whereas the most common teas (lipton green, instant black, etc) have about 35-40mgs. So statements like "one or two cups of coffee OR TEA" puts the targetted intake anywhere between 70mg and 270mgs per day. How useful.

The form of caffeine (though disputed whether it is a form or actually caffeine) yerba mate has generally is very easy on the central nervous system, as opposed to coffee. It also contains various other natural stimulants which will get you going far better than coffee ever could.
In addition, yerba mate will also provide heightened mental clarity to help you slash through literally any task with extreme ease and confidence, be it work, school, a job interview, or a family gathering.
Personally, it brings me to my 'center'. I am calm, collected, well stimulated, yet in in complete control. And yes, you get a wonderful "buzz".
Furthermore, Yerba mate contains basically every nutrient and mineral that the human body needs to sustain life. It will also deliver it in a form far easier and far more effective than any pill or multi-vitamin could ever do. Coffee dehydrates you, mate does the exact opposite.
Yerba mate also promotes REM sleep, so users will often find themselves feeling completely refreshed and well-rested with minimal sleep. This comes in handy for me, where once a week I work a closing shift, then have to open in the morning. I come home, cannot sleep since I need to unwind and end up getting to be very late. I'll sleep for a few hours, and generally awake an hour _before_ my alarm, feeling genuinely well-rested.
If that is not enough, Yerba mate neutralizes the bacteria in your mouth which causes bad breath!
But please, when you try it, use the traditional gourd and bombilla. Buying it in tea bags works about as well as one bag of green tea does. Loose grounds, made into paste within the gourd, then drank with the bombilla (straw with holes acting as a filter) and you will only drink coffee to enjoy it, not for the caffeine.
I recommend this PDF: Yerba mate whitepaper/FAQ.
These results can't possibly be correct, because God revealed to Joseph Smith that coffee and tea are are the devil's drinks.

How do they know that it was caffeine that was the key factor in preventing liver disease? There are other things in common between tea and coffee, such as flavonoids. Flavonoids are already known to have various health benefits.
Ok, due to two previous posts, I guess I need to clarify: Caffeine, as a diuretic, means you'd pump more water through yer innards. Alcohol might do the same, but if taken in amounts in excess of what your stomach can process has destructive results which would counteract that effect.
Now, as to stress, that'd be VERY interesting, but it can't be the superficial way the average Joe user thinks about it. The effects of caffeine go away after two weeks of taking it -- by then you're dependant on it, you no longer get a boost, from baseline. All you're seeing when you take your daily doses is the effect of shoving yourself back up to baseline, so I don't think it's caffeine's effect on stress. Now, it might be the daily ritual of sitting and drinking the stuff. Maybe that's such a stress reducer that any such respit would help -- so smoker's might benefit.
A wacky idea -- you're dependant on caffeine. Without it, you cannot think. Your neurons are producing excessive amounts of inhibitory neurotransmitters in the expectation that caffeine will come along and block the receptors. Maybe it's this DEPENDANT, DEPRESSED STATE which causes the effect. Maybe it's the painful urge for coffee that causes the beneficial stress bump you're talking about.
How many people in the study were killed off by high blood pressure before they had the chance to develop cancer?

Good question!
It seems that any industry can produce a study which says their product is healthy/benificial in some way. But they never tell you the adverse health effects. I would not be supprised if the tobacco industry would run a news story saying smoking decreased colon cancer by
Another problem with such studies is that people who are sick (or sickly) tend to change their eating behavior. Someone with early liver problems may avoid caffiene because it makes them feel bad (or because the doctor says to avoid it and they pay attention). Or they may drink less of it because the failing liver isn't breaking it down as fast, so they don't need as much.
People with liver problems avoiding caffeine will also cause a correlation.
This was a confounding factor that had to be taken into account when the first studies showed low-level alcohol consumption being associated with a lowered heart attack risk. Eventually they did find that there was some actual benefit from (very) moderate drinking (like one glass of wine with each meal). (I'm not sure if they ever did determine how much, if any, of it was from the alcohol and how much was from the red pigment in wine and grape juice, which is a strong antioxidant.)

Caffeine has not been shown to have any long term effect on blood pressure. It does cause transient increases in new users. Decaffinated coffee has been shown to adversely effect cholesterol levels, but caffinated coffee has not been shown to have this problem. Interestingly, coffee of either kind which was not made using a paper filter (using a percolator, turkish coffee, etc) has been shown to have some adverse effects on lipid levels. Coffee has been shown to have protective effects to a small degree against colon/stomach cancer, and now, maybe, liver disease.
That was more than you probably wanted to know, but this is something I'm actually informed about for a change.

A.C. commented that it's probably because of the diuretic effects of caffeine making you drink more liquids, which was also my first guess. However, it could equally well be incorrect - caffeine tends to dehydrate you more than the liquid in the coffee or tea replenishes, so unless you're careful to make up for it with water or other non-alcoholic non-caffeinated drinks, you mostly tend to have less water in your system.

Signs and Symptoms
Signs and symptoms are diagnostic "tools" which help the assessor determine the condition of the patient.
The On-Line Medical Dictionary defines them as: "Objective evidence of disease perceptible to the examining physician (sign) and subjective evidence of disease perceived by the patient (symptom.)"
In layman's terms, "signs" are those "things" that we can see, and "symptoms" are those "things" that the patient tells us. For example: Pain would be a symptom (you can't see it, but the patient can tell you that he/she has pain,) Flinching or "guarding" when touching a painful area would be a sign that the patient is experiencing pain.
Unless maybe there was a note....
Also, if suicide is simply defined as "the act of causing one's own death", I think there may be significant examples which do NOT imply insanity. If one person FREELY and thoughtfully chooses a course which will certainly kill that person but will save several others, is that single person insane or an example of something that could legitimately be called heroic (or is that person simply rational, following the optimal solution of a cost-benefits analysis which happens to be incompatible with that person's continued existance?

So is dihydrogen monoxide... It has been detected in every cancerous cell and is directly linked to thousands of deaths each year. It has also been linked to food-poisoning, and dysbarism.
Furthermore, it is known with certainty, that people without this hazardous substance will never get cancer in the future... Also, when this toxin is removed from the body, that person will never get cancer.
Thus, the necessary action is clear: We must eradicate dihydrogen-monoxide in order to prevent the human race from getting cancer.
