A recent study found that drinking just one can of sweetened soft drinks per day may increase the risk of liver cancer by 85 percent.
Researchers from Harvard Medical School in Boston followed a group of women over the age of 50 for more than 20 years, and the study found that women who drank only one can of sweetened soft drink per day were more likely to develop liver cancer.
Women who drank one or more sugar-sweetened soft drinks a day were 85 percent more likely to develop liver cancer.
Women who drank one or more sugar-sweetened soft drinks a day were 68 percent more likely to die from liver disease than those who drank the same beverage three or fewer times a month.
The study found that the incidence of liver cancer was 18 per 100,000 women who drank one or more sugary drinks daily.
The researchers said that although their study was unable to determine how consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is linked to liver disease, some “possible pathways” to that relationship include obesity, dramatic increases in blood sugar and fat accumulation around the liver.
