Sugary Soda Consumption Linked to 85% Higher Risk of Liver Cancer and Disease in Women
A study conducted by Harvard Medical School found that women who consume just one sugary soda per day are 85% more likely to be diagnosed with liver cancer compared to those who consume fewer than one a week. The study, which observed nearly 100,000 American women over 20 years, also revealed that daily soda drinkers were 68% more likely to die from liver disease. No correlation was found between liver cancer and artificially-sweetened beverages. The researchers suggest that the high sugar content in these drinks can lead to obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes, all of which increase the risk of liver disease.
