If you’ve ever found yourself torn between pouring that morning coffee or uncorking a bottle of wine, you’re not alone. The thought of having to choose one over the other is almost unbearable—if someone tried to make me pick, I’d probably just roll my eyes and walk away.
So what’s the deal with moms and their love for coffee and wine? Honestly, I never gave it much thought. Coffee is essential for survival, and wine is simply delightful. However, a recent study suggests that our balancing act between the caffeine kick and the calming effects of wine might actually have some scientific backing. Researchers from Southampton University looked at data from nine studies, involving more than 430,000 participants, and found that consuming several cups of coffee daily could potentially reverse some liver damage caused by excessive drinking.
According to Yahoo Health, the findings are pretty remarkable: “Drinking two additional cups of coffee a day was linked to a 44 percent lower risk of developing liver cirrhosis. One cup a day was associated with a 22 percent lower risk, two cups with a 43 percent reduction, three cups with a 57 percent reduction, and four cups with a 65 percent reduction.”
Now, don’t get any wild ideas about mixing your wine with coffee all day. Researchers are still figuring out which compounds in coffee provide these benefits, and we’re not talking about those sugary, high-calorie caramel lattes. But the results are still significant. Dr. Oliver Kennedy, the study’s lead author, stated, “It is significant that the risk of developing cirrhosis may be reduced by consumption of coffee, a cheap, ubiquitous and well-tolerated beverage.”
Of course, there’s always conflicting research, so next week we might hear that coffee and wine are both secretly plotting our demise. But for now, let’s raise our glasses to coffee! And to wine! And to more coffee. And more wine. Forever.
