Add another plus for moderate coffee consumption.  Not only does it help with diabetes - see my previous post - but it appears to lower risk of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma or HCC).

This study takes into account both  the fact that liver cancer is at a relatively high level in Japan, and that the Japanese are not heavy coffee drinkers to make a convincing case.  

As was the case in the previous study, how the coffee was brewed,  what degree of roast or what kind of bean was used, or whether cream and sugar were added is not specified - all facts it would be handy to know!
