Angie,

I think many people (and even physicians) think that. In general, coffee is still regarded as an unhealthy brew that should be enjoyed by few and only on occasion. I agree that it’s not appropriate for everyone. But modern science is making a pretty strong case showing that benefits of coffee typically far outweigh the downside of it. Good to know, right?

Be well!

Liverock,

Indeed. I really need to write a full column about milk thistle. It’s an incredible herb. As you probably know, it’s not just for the liver either. Lately, there’s been a lot of interest in it’s cancer fighting potential. Pretty amazing.

Be well!

Nina,

I’m always happy to find good news about a favorite drink or food. Coffee is also my morning beverage of choice.

re: krill oil

It’s not inexpensive but the recommended dosage is quite low (usually 1,000 mg daily is adequate). Please let me know if you have any questions while looking into krill oil.

Be well!

Milk thisle is also very good protection against heavy metals passing through the liver because it boosts the liver’s glutathione levels.
