This study analyzed data from nearly 10 studies, in which 430,000 people participated, and the results showed that 2 cups of coffee a day can lead to 44% less risk of liver cirrhosis. This is an excellent news for the ones who enjoy coffee and alcohol. The liver cirrhosis is caused by the excessive alcohol intake.
