The Claim

Low molecular mass fractions isolated from acidic coffee extracts exhibit protective activity against lipid peroxidation, indicating that small, acidic compounds in roasted coffee may function as potent liver-protective agents.

Source: In vitro antioxidant and ex vivo protective activities of green and roasted coffee.
