Drinking up to four cups of coffee a day could be linked to a reduced risk of developing chronic liver disease and related liver conditions, new research suggests.

Researchers at the Universities of Southampton and Edinburgh found that drinking caffeinated and decaffeinated versions of the beverage was associated with a reduced risk of developing and dying from chronic liver disease compared to not drinking coffee.
