Study Links Sugar-Sweetened Beverages to Increased Liver Cancer Risk, Finds No Link for Artificially Sweetened Drinks
By
Tara Haelle
Summary
A new study found that drinking sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is linked to an increased risk for liver cancer, specifically hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Each additional SSB consumed per day was associated with a 10% increased risk for HCC and a 15% increased risk for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. In contrast, artificially sweetened beverages showed no such link to liver cancer. The authors adjusted for confounders like demographics and lifestyle factors, but noted that a high-quality long-term study is still needed.
