Coffee consumption may ward off liver cancer, says Japanese study
More good news about coffee!

"A Japanese study has found that people who drink coffee are less likely to develop liver cancer than those who abstain. Studying 61,000 people between 1984 and 1997, the study found a significant difference in liver cancer rates among those who drank more than one cup of coffee per day. The researchers hypothesize that chlorogenic acid, found in the coffee bean, may be the cancer-fighting agent responsible."
