It is rare that the PEN Team comes across a nutrition topic that has never been studied before, but that is exactly what happened a few weeks ago. A recent, large study published in the European Heart Journal reported the effect of coffee on heart health. The authors examined whether the timing of coffee intake (just in the morning or throughout the day) influenced people’s risk of dying over a 10-year period.

Recent headlines (1,2) attest that drinking coffee prevents chronic liver disease, based on a recently published study (3). The PEN Team set out to investigate whether the evidence supports these cause-and-effect statements.
