Herbal Tea, Coffee Consumption Tied to Lower Liver Stiffness
Tea and coffee consumption is ubiquitous around the world. Both contain polyphenols, caffeine, as well as other chemical components. Polyphenols and caffeine are suspected to improve liver health; for example, previous research has suggested that coffee might prevent liver cirrhosis. However, whether or not this is true for fibrosis in the general population is not known.

Herbal tea and coffee might protect the liver among healthy adults, according to findings presented at The Liver Meeting® 2016.
People who drink coffee are less likely to develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a new literature review suggests. And people with NAFLD who drink coffee regularly are less likely to develop liver fibrosis.

Coffee drinkers significantly decrease their risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and regular drinking also decreases risk of liver fibrosis, according to results of a systematic review and meta-analysis presented at The Liver Meeting® 2016.
“Whether consumption of coffee could be considered as a preventative measure against NAFLD needs further investigations,” reported Karn Wijarnpreecha, MD, of the department of internal medicine at Bassett Medical Center and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Cooperstown, NY, and colleagues.
