Drinking sugar-laden beverages on a regular basis may increase the risk for liver cancer and death from chronic liver disease, new research suggests.
Among these women, nearly 7% consumed at least one sugar-sweetened beverage daily and 13% consumed one or more artificially sweetened beverage servings daily.
Compared with women consuming three servings or fewer of artificially sweetened beverages per month, those drinking one or more servings per day did not have a significantly increased risk for liver cancer or chronic liver disease mortality . "Intake of sugar-sweetened beverage[s], a postulated risk factor for obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, may driveZhang toldThe lack of an association between artificially sweetened beverages and liver outcomes is also not particularly surprising, Zhang said,"given that the consumption level of artificially sweetened beverages is low, the sample size is relatively small," and"the dose response relationship remains unknown.
"Regardless of whether this is a surrogate marker for liver disease risk or a consequence of the drink itself, it is an easy measure for clinicians to capture and an easy behavior for patients to modify," Reau, a hepatologist at Rush Medical College in Chicago, Illinois, toldHowever, Reau noted,"I do not feel that this article can be used to advocate for artificially sweetened beverages as a substitute.
In his view, avoiding excess consumption of sugary or artificially sweetened drinks is the best course of action, but other factors, such as smoking, excessive alcohol, sun exposure without adequate, obesity, and inactivity"are more likely to increase one's risk for cancer," Shepard said.
