Drinking more carbonated drinks from one year can significantly increase the risk of developing non-alcoholic fat liver disease. This conclusion was scientists from the University of Suchow (China). Their long-term study was presented at the International Conference on the United European Gastroenterology Week 2025 (UEG).
Scientists have analyzed more than 100,000 people's health and diet data from the Great Britain's Biboank. Participants were followed by ten years. At the beginning of the study, none of the participants had a history of liver disease.
It turned out that those who drank more than 250 ml of carbonated drinks a day had a significantly higher risk of developing non-alcoholic fat liver disease than those who rarely drank carbonated drinks or never drank them.
The comparative impact of ordinary and dietary carbonated beverages was unexpected. In moderate use, risk levels were about the same. However, in the case of greater consumption, the risk of the disease was higher among drinkers, 60% against 50% conventional carbonated drinks.
Moreover, the researchers have found a connection between the use of two types of drinks and the risk of fatal deaths in the organ tissue.
