YOU MAY THINK YOU’RE HURTING YOUR LIVER BY CHOOSING A SUGAR SODA OVER ALCOHOL EVERY DAY.
But drinking it every day can be harmful to your liver – just as harmful as alcohol.
After reaching the liver, the sugar in the drink turns into fat, which is stored in the liver cells. Over time, this can lead to fatty liver disease, which, if left untreated, can lead to severe scarring known as cirrhosis. And it can be life-threatening.
This surprises many people – they never or rarely drink alcohol, but they have cirrhosis.
After 5-7 years, even one sugary drink a day increases the risk of liver disease, heart disease, diabetes, and colon, pancreatic, and esophageal cancer.
