The number of people being killed by cancer is on a rise….And yet it seems we could reduce the risk of liver cancer at home by just having three cups of coffee a day….

A new study in Italy has found that drinking 3 cups of coffee a day reduces the risk of the most common type of liver cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), by 40 per cent but separate research indicated that risk could be reduced by half.

According to the author of the study-Dr Carlo La Vecchia the research “confirms past claims that coffee is good for your health, and particularly the liver.”

He added “the favourable effect of coffee on liver cancer might be mediated by coffee’s proven prevention of diabetes, a known risk factor for the disease, or for its beneficial effects on cirrhosis and liver enzymes”.

The researchers conducted a meta-analysis of articles published between 1996 and September 2012, involving 16 high-quality studies and a total of 3,153 cases.

It also included data on 900 more recent cases of HCC published since the last detailed research in 2007.

Despite the consistency of results across studies, time periods and populations, it is difficult to establish whether the association between coffee drinking and HCC is causal, or if this relationship may be partially attributable to the fact that patients with liver and digestive diseases often voluntarily reduce their coffee intake
