I've cut way down on soda and I hope Druff reduces his intake as well.



New research found that less than one can of soda a day can raise your risk of developing a fatty liver by up to 60%

NEED TO KNOW

-New research has found that drinking less than one can of soda a day increases your risk of developing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

- Sugar-sweetened beverages increased the risk by 50%, while artificially sweetened beverages bumped the risk up to 60%

- The study author said the findings challenge the belief that “these drinks are harmless”

Less than one can of soda a day can raise your risk of developing a deadly liver disease, new research says — and it’s worse if you drink diet soda.

Those who drink 250 grams of soda — less than 9 ounces — are more likely to develop metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MALSD, formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), according to researchers. (Standard soda cans contain 12 ounces.) The findings, part of an unpublished study from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, in Suzhou, China, were presented at UEG Week, a conference by the nonprofit organization United European Gastroenterology, which advocates for “excellence in digestive health.”

“The safest approach is to limit both sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened drinks,” Liu said in the release. “Water remains the best choice as it removes the metabolic burden and prevents fat accumulation in the liver, whilst hydrating the body.”
