What Just One Cup of Coffee Does to Your Liver and Body

Around the world, people drink over 2.25 billion cups of coffee every single day. That's a lot of coffee! But is coffee an addiction that’s helping or harming our livers and bodies?

Here are the links to the research papers referenced in the video:

Thank Heaven! You scared me almost to death with the thought of giving up coffee!

Over the past 35+ years, numerous studies with the intent no doubt of uncovering the dangers of coffee drinking have consistently shown just the opposite. Moderate coffee drinking is beneficial. If you’re worried about too much caffeine, then moderate with decaf. Cheers!

My espresso machine watched this video before I did, fortunately it liked the message and unlocked my laptop

Last time I tried to quit coffee - 3 weeks in I feel into a deep depression.

As a long black with no sugar drinker, I feel vindicated😊 I've toyed with the idea of quitting the bean. But it seems the bean is actually a good thing😃

F my cortisol, I’m ready to get coffee wrecked. 🫨

(Great video, Brad)

coffee also reduces iron, zinc and magnesium absorption.

On the whole, since the long term studies are epidemiological, with low relative incident rates, so as you say, we need experimental / controlled studies.

Research will always show what those who fund it want it to show.

There’s a great conversation between James Hoffman and one of the most prolific research scientists on the topic of coffee consumption. There are some great benefits to moderate consumption (in the first half of the day). Apart from the polyphenols and whatnot coffee actually contains a surprising amount of fiber.. more than orange juice.

You should be proud of yourself for the amazing work you've done researching and informing people with vital contend health related! Keep up the great job!

As a big coffee drinker I'm glad to see mostly positive and few negative effects.

Went from 3 teaspoons of sugar to 2. A months later to 1 teaspoon. My taste buds got used to it and now it is just as good as when I was putting in 3. A year later the change has lasted.

It seems to me that all of these studies could be subject to the same biases that resulted in the misbegotten conclusion that moderate alcohol intake is causally associated with good health. When the vast majority of the population consumes a beverage, healthy user bias and reverse causality are important considerations, for sure.

I'd be curious to know how many of the things you say in this video apply to caffeine, and how many only apply to coffee. I don't like coffee, so I take caffeine pills if I want to have caffeine. I wonder if that's roughly same good as coffee, or if that's a totally different thing overall.

Excellent video Brad - thank you for your work

[soullaavgousti]

Phew! Thanks Dr Stanfield thought you were going to say that coffee is so bad for you. I love my 2 cups of coffee in the morning, couldn't get through the day without them. I drink the best coffee, in my opinion, which is the finely ground Turkish coffee, the only coffee I can drink without milk, but unfortunately it is unfiltered. Hey ho and hello from the UK, I love your videos!

You need to define how many oz. of coffee in a cup? Coffee cups come in many different sizes.

[GeorgeStar]

I wonder if cocoa would have a similar effect.

[haircafekevin]

I love coffee, but the anxiety it gives me is just too much so I had to stop it. I occasionally drink decaf but even that gives me some minor jitters.

You mentioned that finer roasts will deliver more caffeine, but you have to consider that finer grinds are usually reserved for espresso, which is USUALLY a darker roast and darker roasts have been found to be LOWER in caffeine, so that kinda balances out.
