One of the conclusions of the study...ouch!

"Additional research is needed to confirm these findings in women and in people with other chronic liver diseases."

Sorry :(. Still think Spitzbar's advice applies to all!

Love my coffee in the morning and usually fresh ground with milk. Café a Laue? If I have my chi-chi French spelling correct. I have heard of this study and would like to see more.
PS my coffee cut off is much earlier now because my insomnia needs no encouragement.

I'm with you for now sapphire, but when the TX is complete, I'm right back to 20oz of coffee a day, like taking an elixir, not a huge coffee fan, of the stuff off the street, but at home I can brew up a mighty fine beverage and truly enjoy it and if it can slow the fibrosis ya know I'm gonna do it.

Good Luck to all...
Diagnosed October 2006, contracted approx. 1972

2nd Treatment PEG Interferon and Riba April 2009
