Coffee reduces liver cancer?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Liver cancer in Japan stems largely from their higher infection rate with

hepatitis

viruses. In North America, although shared needles and AIDS does increase the

risk

of the viral infections, it is largely alcohol and other factors that are

responsible. Aflatoxin can cause liver cancer also.

According to the pdf-available:
