## Executive GIST (TL;DR)
Over the last few years, several studies have shown the potential health benefits of drinking coffee . For example, research published earlier this year found that coffee may help reduce chronic disease risk and boost longevity. Other studies have linked drinking coffee to a reduced risk for Alzheimer’s disease , Parkinson’s disease , heart failure , stroke , colorectal cancer , and liver conditions such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and cirrhosis . “Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, yet we still do not fully understand how it influences long-term health,” Hyunseok Kim, MD, MPH, PhD , physician-scientist and transplant hepatologist in the Karsh Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in California, told Medical News Today . “Even modest health effects could have a meaningful public health impact because millions of people drink coffee every day. Continued research also helps us distinguish true biological effects from lifestyle factors and identify which populations may benefit the most,” Kim said.
