Women who consume a lot of carbonated drinks with sugar have an increased risk of liver cancer. This conclusion was made by scientists from the Harvard School of Public Health.
Carbonated and other soft drinks and drinks with a lot of sugar increase the likelihood of developing liver tumors in women, according to a study involving more than 90,000 post-menopausal women. It turned out that if one of them consumed at least one serving of a soft drink with sugar per day, then the likelihood of developing liver cancer in them increased by 78%, compared with those who drank less than three such drinks per month.
Therefore, avoiding sugary soft drinks can be one of the most powerful preventive defenses against liver cancer. If the findings are confirmed in the course of larger-scale observations, then humanity will have at its disposal a very powerful tool for the prevention of a rather dangerous oncological disease. It should be noted that although in the United States from 2003 to 2018 the use of sugary drinks has been steadily declining, it still remains at a high level. 65% of white Americans drank at least one such drink daily between 2017 and 2018, according to observations.
The authors of the study emphasize that they did not prove the ability of drinks with sugar to provoke liver cancer, only a possible connection between these two facts was established. In general, sugary drinks are associated with a host of other not-too-pleasant health effects, one of the most obvious of which is obesity. (READ MORE)
