"Fat House Happy Water = Sweet Killer"?Long -term intake can increase the risk of liver cancer by 78%!

Sugar intake is related to risk of liver cancer!

A study in European Cancer and Nutritional Prospective Survey Projects (EPIC) shows that every extra 50 grams of sugar/day, liver cancer risk rises by 43%(HR = 1.43, 95%CI 1.17-1.74).

As one of the sources of daily sugar intake, the average soft drink contains 55-130 grams of sugar per liter. Does too much intake of sugar-containing drinks also cause the risk of liver cancer? The answer is not here.

Recently, scientists from research institutions from the University of South Carolina, Harvard University and other research institutions shared their latest research results at the 2022 American Nutrition Society, which proves that drinking more than one can of sugary drinks (355ml, Listening Coca -Cola 330ml) a day drinking more than one can Women, more than 3 cans of sugar -containing drinks per month, the risk of liver cancer rises by 78%! It seems that the "sweet burden" is still too mild to describe sugary drinks. Drinking drinks will not only get fat, but also increase the risk of cancer. It should be called "sweet killer". The study was published in the CurrenT Developments in Nutrition.

The research data comes from the American Women's Health Initiative (The Women's Health Initiative (WHI), which is one of the largest female health projects in the history of the United States. It recruited more than 160,000 women in 40 clinical centers for clinical trials and community prevention. Studies and observation research are committed to making scientific contributions to women's health.

Observation objects are 90,504 women aged 50-79 years old, with an average follow-up period of 18.7 years. Through the form of questionnaires, they understand their disease history and health habits, including the intake of sugary drinks.

Among them, 7.3%of participants take "one portion" daily, that is, sugar -containing drinks above 355ml (simple analogy is a can of drinks). The "sugary drink" here includes soft drinks and fruit beverages.

During the follow -up period, a total of 205 women were diagnosed with liver cancer. Compared with women who rarely consume drinks (<3/month), more than 1 daily intake of women with sugary drinks, the risk of liver cancer increased by 78% increased by 78% (HR = 1.78, 95%CI = 1.09-2.95, P = 0.007).

Even if the coffee/tea intake, the history of liver disease, or excluding participants who have diagnosed liver cancer and have diabetes in the first two years of follow -up, the intake of sugary drinks is still related to the rise in liver cancer risk Essence

To say why sugary drinks increase the risk of liver cancer, on the one hand, the reason may be that too much sugar -containing drinks can easily cause obesity, II diabetes and non -alcoholic fatty liver, which are risk factors for liver cancer.

On the other hand, excessive sugar -containing drinks cause insulin resistance with the increase in insulin content in the blood, insulin has the effect of promoting silk divisions, increasing the possibility of cell cancer.

Since sugary drinks are not good, is it healthy to choose a sugar -free drink to add artificial sweeteners? Nothing.

A contribution analysis research published in 2021 shows that excessive drinking of carbonated beverages containing artificial sweeteners increased by 28%of the risk of liver cancer.

From this point of view, not drinking drinks is the best choice for health. (But drinking milk tea is good for mental health!)
