5 days agoOne can of diet soft drink a day ups risk of liver disease by 60pc, study finds
"Sugar sweetened beverages [SSBs] have long been under scrutiny, while their 'diet' alternatives are often seen as the healthier choice," said lead study author Lihe Liu, a graduate student in the department of gastroenterology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, in Suzhou, China. However, the study rebuffs this notion as "even a single can per day" of artificially sweetened drink was linked to a higher risk of liver disease, Liu said.
