Japanese study links coffee drinking with reduced liver cancer risk

I couldn't even make this stuff up. I don't want to bore you with the details....but a Japanese study (published February 2005 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute) of about 90,000 middle-aged and elderly people shows that habitually drinking coffee cut the risk of liver cancer in half. The conclusion of the study's abstract states that "In the Japanese population, habitual coffee drinking may be associated with reduced risk of HCC [liver cancer]" You can read the abstract here.
