Title: Relationship of Coffee Consumption with Colonic Diverticulosis
Version: 2 Date: 13 Mar 2025
Reviewer:  Francesco di Mario
Reviewer's report:
Diverticulosis and diverticular disease have been hot topics in gastroenterological literature.
The search for individualised risk factors, almost related to lifestyle and consumption of different
substances like coffee, alcohol, fibers, and smoking, is increasing in different countries in the
world. The present study is based on a huge sample of the population in a country with elevated
consumption of coffee,  collecting subjects who underwent colonoscopy to search for a possible
relationship with colonic diverticulosis. As a matter of fact, the evidence is based on several
subjects showing diverticulosis, and the relationship between different kinds of coffee is not so
clear and therefore, the relationship in favor of a causal effect remains to be established. Every
contribution in this field is welcome, but the study seems to be not so relevant to add convincing
data. Finally, the conclusion is not in line with the results and needs to be modified.
