Please vaccine yourself against Hepatitis B, as this vaccine is given for baby this year. All this while only TB, Rubella been given, and not Hepatitis B vaccine.
If your year of birth dun cover, please vaccine yourself.

Coffee, Caffeine Consumption Associated With Reduced Liver Disease
Karla Harby

May 18, 2004 (New Orleans) - A U.S. population study of 5,944 adults conducted by researchers at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) has found a strong association between coffee drinking and caffeine consumption and a lower risk of liver injury in persons at high risk for liver disease.

The researchers defined the high-risk population as those who reported being heavy drinkers of alcohol, or who had hepatitis B or C, iron overload, were obese, or had impaired glucose metabolism. Liver injury was defined as a serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity level in excess of 43 U/L.
