When caffeine enters the body, the liver releases enzymes to metabolize it before releasing it into the bloodstream. This can temporarily impair the liver's blood sugar uptake and release functions.
Three of the many important functions of the liver are: 1  To filter harmful substances from the blood so they can be passed from the body in stools and urine. 2  To make bile to help digest fats from food. 3  To store glycogen (sugar), which the body uses for energy.
