I'm driving home and the NPR guy has today's health science story:
Heavy drinkers get enormous protection for their livers from drinking
coffee. Seems 1 cup of coffee a day reduces the risk of chirosis for
heavy drinkers by 20%. Four cups reduces the risk by 80%. I drink at
least 6, so I've got an extra 20% more than I can use.
Makes that Mexspresso (1 double shot of your favorite espresso blend
pulled over 1 double shot of your favorita blue agave libation) seem
better all the time.
Probably a link, but I haven't looked for it.

From the NY Times:
Prevention: Easing Liver Damage With a Dose of Coffee
By NICHOLAS BAKALAR
Published: June 13, 2006
Drinking coffee may protect against the type of liver disease caused
by excessive alcohol intake, researchers have found.
In a population of more than 125,000 members of a prepaid health care
plan, scientists found 199 with diagnoses of liver cirrhosis caused by
alcohol abuse. The subjects were examined beginning in 1978, and they
were followed for an average of more than 14 years. Their coffee
drinking and other dietary and health habits were established using
interviews and questionnaires.
Compared with people who never drank coffee, those who drank one cup a
day or less were about 30 percent less likely to develop alcoholic
cirrhosis. The more coffee they drank, the lower the risk. At one to
three cups per day, the risk was lowered by 40 percent, and those who
drank more than four cups a day reduced their risk by 80 percent.
Coffee had no statistically significant effect on the risk for
nonalcoholic cirrhosis.
Long-term alcohol abuse is the most common cause of liver cirrhosis in
industrialized countries, according to background information in the
article, which was published yesterday in Archives of Internal
Medicine.
"Not everything enjoyable is bad for you," said Dr. Arthur L. Klatsky,
the study's lead author and a cardiologist with the Kaiser Permanente
Medical Care Program in Oakland, Calif. "Moderate coffee drinking has
no net ill effects on health."
The researchers are unsure what ingredient in coffee is at work, but
since tea drinking offered no protection against either form of the
disease, they concluded that caffeine was not responsible for the
effect.

Great post, and premise since my 1 cup per day has slowly
increased on some days to 2 and 3. This from a 50ish road
trainer and racer that hasn't raced in a long long time. And, I
still like my 40-60 mile rides followed by a nice cup of coffee.
Each consists of 1 shot plus 1 Americano and a teaspoon of heavy
cream....yummy. Ok, now I am off for another.
T.
Have a Great Day:)

Or you could become the first commodities trader to deal in liver
protection. I can just see it now, RoueJa becomes the Ken Lay of cirrhosis.

I wonder who paid for the research - Starbucks?

Careful, Bob. If people start snipping self-aggrandizing crap there'll
be nothing left of your posts. :)
