The Claim
Roasted coffee exhibits significantly higher protective activity against lipid peroxidation in rat liver cell microsomes than green coffee, as measured by TBA-reacting substances (p < 0.001), suggesting that roasting enhances the ability of coffee compounds to protect liver cells from oxidative damage in this model.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Roasted coffee is better than green coffee at protecting liver cells from damage caused by harmful chemicals in rats, because roasting makes the coffee compounds more powerful at fighting this kind of damage.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: In vitro antioxidant and ex vivo protective activities of green and roasted coffee.
The study found that roasted coffee does a better job than green coffee at protecting liver cells from damage caused by harmful chemicals, and this was proven in lab tests using rat liver cells.
