4 common drinks that might be killing your liver

Sweetened beverages like flavoured teas, fruit punches, and even “healthy” juices often contain an alarming amount of added sugars. These sugars, especially in liquid form, get quickly absorbed and can overload the liver. When sugar is metabolised, it turns into fat, which can deposit in the liver and lead to NAFLD, similar to the effects of soda. Over time, the liver can become inflamed, and in severe cases, fibrosis or cirrhosis may develop. Limiting sugar-laden drinks is one of the best ways to prevent liver stress and maintain optimal health.
