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.
Effects of Caffeine. A study in a 2007 issue of Nigerian Journal of Physiological Sciences reports that caffeine may suppress liver scarring in patients with chronic liver disease. The buildup of scar tissue blocks blood flow to the liver, impairing the organâs ability to function and heal itself. Additionally, a 19-year-long study of just under 10,000 people showed that drinking a moderate amount of caffeine-containing beverages each day significantly reduces your risk of developing chronic liver disease, as noted in a 2005 issue of Gastroenterology.
