Coffee and liver health: Exploring the protective benefits and mechanisms of coffee and its bioactive compounds in liver disorders
Abstract
Coffee, one of the most widely consumed beverages worldwide, has garnered significant attention for its health benefits. Beyond its stimulant effects, studies highlight its potential role in reducing the risk of liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This editorial explores the mechanisms underlying these protective effects, emphasizing the interplay between bioactive compounds in coffee and liver health. By integrating epidemiological, clinical, and biochemical insights, this article also explores how moderate coffee consumption can contribute to liver disease prevention and public health strategies.
