A study published by JAMA Network Open and conducted by researchers at the University of South Carolina, in collaboration with the Women's Health Initiative, suggests that frequent consumption of sugary sodas may be associated with a significantly increased risk of developing liver cancer, according to Science Direct.

According to the study, women who consumed one or more sugary drinks per day had up to a 78–85% higher risk of liver cancer – compared to those who consumed them rarely or not at all.

Also, an increase in mortality from chronic liver disease was observed in this group.

The researchers emphasize that the link is not necessarily cause-and-effect, but could be explained by the impact of sugar on liver function.

High consumption of sugary drinks is linked to the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a condition where fat accumulates in liver cells.

A key factor is fructose, which is metabolized primarily in the liver.

Excessive intake can lead to fat accumulation, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation – processes that over time can increase the risk of serious complications, including cancer.

Public health experts recommend limiting the consumption of sugary drinks and replacing them with water or low-sugar alternatives.

A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle remain key factors in protecting liver health.
