Sugary Drinks Increases Risk for Liver Cancer, Liver Disease Death

Drinking sugar-laden beverages on a regular basis may increase the risk for liver cancer and death from chronic liver disease, new research suggests.

The observational analyses revealed that postmenopausal women who consumed at least one sugar-sweetened beverage daily had an 85% higher risk of developing liver cancer and a 68% higher risk of dying from chronic liver disease, compared with those who consumed three servings or fewer per month.

“If our findings are confirmed, reducing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption might serve as a public health strategy to reduce liver disease burden,” first author Longgang Zhao, PhD, with Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, told Medscape Medical News.

When looking at consumption of artificially sweetened drinks, however, Zhao and colleagues found no strong association between intake and risk for liver cancer or death from chronic liver disease. Because the sample size for the artificially sweetened beverage analysis was limited, Zhao said, “these results should be interpreted with caution and additional studies are needed to confirm our study findings.”

The new study was published online August 8 in JAMA.
