Drinking More Coffee May Undo Liver Damage From Booze (usatoday.com)
schwit1 writes: Drinking more coffee might help reduce the kind of liver damage that's associated with overindulging in food and alcohol, a review of existing studies suggests. Researchers analyzed data from nine previously published studies with a total of more than 430,000 participants and found that drinking two additional cups of coffee a day was linked to a 44% lower risk of developing liver cirrhosis.
Well I guess the article clarifies that coffee in moderation has some positive effects, (I know I started drinking it again after reading some articles, but I'm a 2 day, black only guy, fuck the extra calories from sugar and milk)
That being said, I mean if you actually give 2 shits about your liver, you'd be far better off switching to a diet low in carbs / packaged food and seriously increase your vegetable and fibre intake. In my case my GammaGT was 167 (it's meant to be 51) so I did some reading, ate a lot of veggies, consumed a lot of beetroot (in smoothies with spinach, lemon, kale, etc blah) and within 6 months my liver was ridiculously healthy. I took it from fatty liver (external only luckily) to pretty healthy.
Basically, if the food you're eating comes from a packet you're probably not helping (with some exceptions) as for the coffee, perhaps it'll help, even more? In moderation I'm sure.
Lemmy only lived to 70. How long would he have lived without the booze and speed? (You call that living?!?)
Lemmy's last words were, "Fuck it. I've had a good run."
