Women who consume soft drinks regularly are at risk of developing liver cancer.
Fizzy drinks put women at risk of liver cancer
A new study suggests that females who drink one or more sugary sodas per day were 85 per cent more likely to be diagnosed with the disease over a 20-year period compared to those who had fewer than one a week.
A team from Harvard Medical School observed a group of almost 10,000 women in the United States and their drinking habits over the course of two decades and also concluded that daily soda drinkers were 68 per cent more likely to die than those who consumed soda in moderation.
However, the experts stressed that the risk of death was still low as there were only 150 fatalities from the disease during the trial period.
Commenting on the findings, Dr. Pauline Emmett - of the University of Bristol - said: "Although this study is observational so can't give cause and effect, we know from a body of evidence that it is worth thinking twice before choosing to drink sugar-sweetened beverages every day."
