Yes, both coffee and green tea are excellent for supporting liver health and function, offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits that can reduce the risk and progression of liver diseases like fatty liver (NAFLD) and fibrosis, but moderation is key, especially with coffee (no sugar/milk) and avoiding high-dose green tea extracts. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Coffee Benefits

• Reduces Disease Risk: Regular consumption lowers the risk of chronic liver disease, liver cancer, fibrosis, and cirrhosis.

• Slows Progression: Can slow the progression of existing liver disease, notes GoodRx (https://www.goodrx.com/well-being/diet-nutrition/coffee-good-or-bad-for-liver-kidneys).

• Contains Beneficial Compounds: Chlorogenic acids and other compounds help protect liver cells.

• Works for All Types: Benefits apply to black, decaf, instant, and espresso, but best without sugar or milk, according to this YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZwmPf4Ziwo) and GoodRx. [2, 4, 6, 7]

Green Tea Benefits

• Rich in Antioxidants: Catechins (like EGCG) reduce fat buildup, lower liver enzymes, and protect against damage, says this YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Cf69GSJqjg) and The Times of India (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/top-gastroenterologist-reveals-3-drinks-that-can-reverse-fatty-liver-small-daily-habits-can-genuinely-reduce-inflammation-improve-fat-metabolism-and-/photostory/125686964.cms).

• Improves Fat Metabolism: Helps the liver process fat more efficiently, notes this YouTube video and 1mg (https://www.1mg.com/articles/web-stories/benefits-of-green-tea-coffee-beetroot-juice-for-fatty-liver/).

• Dosage: 3-4 cups daily is generally safe and effective, but avoid high-dose extracts, warns The Times of India. [5, 8, 9, 10, 11]

Key Takeaway

While these drinks support liver health, they aren't "cleansers" that flush toxins; rather, they provide protective compounds that help your liver function better, according to Healthline (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/11-foods-for-your-liver). Focus on black coffee and plain green tea to maximize benefits and avoid added sugar, which harms the liver, notes GoodRx. [1, 2, 4, 6]
