  • A. 20%
  • B. 36%
  • C. 56%
The findings from two recent studies in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology suggest that, consuming coffee of any kind may reduce the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common liver cancer by as much as 56% (depending on amount consumed). 
 
Question 2 of 5

True or False. According to two studies, coffee consumption is linked to a reduced risk of pancreatic cancer.

A. True

B. False

According to research published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, drinking caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee is unlikely to influence a person’s risk for pancreatic cancer.

Question 3 of 5

A 16-study meta-analysis revealed that tea consumption had _____ impact on the risk of pancreatic cancer.

  • A. A slight, but significant
  • B. A large
  • C. No


A 16-study meta-analysis revealed that tea consumption had no impact on the risk of pancreatic cancer (HR, 1.22; 95% CI: 0.95-1.56). 

Question 4 of 5 

In a study of the effect of coffee intake and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, researchers found that each additional cup of coffee consumed resulted in a ___ risk reduction of hepatocellular carcinoma risk. 

  • A. 7%
  • B. 15%
  • C. 20%


The dose-response relationship was seen in separate comparison of low and high coffee consumption with no coffee consumption, using three cups a day as the cutoff in nine papers and one cup a day in five papers. Low coffee consumption reduced hepatocellular carcinoma risk by 28% (RR, 0.72; 95% CI: 0.61-0.84), while high consumption reduced it by 56% (RR, 0.44; 95% CI: 0.77-0.84). Each additional cup of coffee per day resulted in a 20% risk reduction (RR, 0.80; 95% CI: 0.77-0.84). Question 5 of 5

A. Antioxidants in coffee

B. Minerals in coffee

C. Inverse relationship between coffee and diabetes

D. Inverse relationship between coffee and cirrhosis

E. All of the above

Experts suggest that the risk reduction effect could be a real, causal effect arising from antioxidants and other minerals in coffee that may inhibit liver carcinogenesis or the inverse association between coffee and cirrhosis or coffee and diabetes, both conditions known risk factors for liver cancers. It's all of the above.
