A Cup of Joe to Thwart Liver Fibrosis? How About Four [Medpage Today]

The story quoted Andrew Talal, MD, professor of medicine in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, who said: “These studies support the consumption of at least moderate amounts of coffee for its protective effects against liver scarring and the development or progression of chronic liver disease.”
