cirrhosis

A cup of coffee a day helps protect the liver against serious diseases such as cirrhosis and cancer, especially when their cause is excessive consumption of alcohol, according to a study by the Italian Mario Negri Institute. According to the researchers, caffeine has beneficial properties if consumed in adequate doses, it inhibits the action of the enzymes gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), also called transferase and alanine transaminase (ALT), which is an indicator of cirrhosis, which triggers such diseases. We analysed 100 people for two months.
