Some drinks that seem harmless can cause more harm to the liver than alcohol or fatty foods.
This is reported by URA-Inform with reference to Tsn.
Doctors warn that certain drinks can provoke inflammatory processes, fatty liver and its destruction at the cellular level.
Energy drinks with a high sugar content are especially dangerous. Regular consumption of them contributes to the accumulation of fat in the liver, which can lead to fatty hepatosis. This condition can lead to serious complications, including tissue scarring and progressive organ damage.
Research confirms that energy drinks provoke inflammation in liver tissue, as well as cause blood sugar spikes and reduce insulin sensitivity. Therefore, such drinks are especially dangerous for diabetics and people with liver disease.
Regular sweet sodas are also unsafe. They contain not only sugar, but also artificial additives with dyes. Their processing creates an increased load on the liver. In addition, sugar substitutes in these drinks negatively affect the intestinal microflora and metabolism, which can contribute to the development of fatty liver.
Doctors advise giving up such drinks, replacing them with healthier alternatives, such as green tea, black coffee, cocoa, fermented milk products and clean water. These drinks help maintain the health of the liver and the body as a whole.
