Associations of sugar- and artificially sweetened soda with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
High intake of sugar-sweetened soda might be a risk factor for the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
This meta-analysis investigated the role habitual consumption sugar-sweetened and artificially-sweetened soda play in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Researchers systematically reviewed seven (7) observational studies that examined sugared beverage intake as a risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
The experts observed that regular drinking of sugar-sweetened soda promoted the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Surprisingly, no significant association was found between artificially-sweetened beverage consumption and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease development risk in this study. The findings of this study reveal that high intake of sugar-sweetened soda may be a contributing factor to the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
