65% of adults in the USA consume the now-so-affordable sugar-sweetened beverages everyday. Knowing its association with rising chronic ailments including certain cancers, researchers investigated the impact of sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened beverage intake on liver health. 98,786 postmenopausal women (50–79 years) from the US were followed for a little over 20 years .
Consumption of ≥ 1 servings of sugar-sweetened drink/day significantly increased liver cancer incidences (aHR [adjusted hazard ratio], 1.85; P = 0.01) and death from chronic liver disease (aHR, 1.68; P = 0.04) than the consumption of ≤ 3 servings per month. However, the consumption of ≥ 1 artificially sweetened drink/day didn’t increase liver cancer incidence (aHR, 1.17; P = 0.55) or chronic liver disease mortality (aHR, 0.95 P = 0.88) compared to an intake of ≤ 3 servings/month. In conclusion, this piece of…
