Recently, at Aunt Zhang's house, not only the grandson is very particular about what drinks to drink, but the adults are also carefully selecting. Aunt Zhang looked at those colorful drink bottles and always felt that there was something greasy in them. She nagged, "Is this sugar-free really sugar-free?" but her grandson only cared about his own taste and did not take his grandmother's worries to heart. Uncle Wang next door takes his health very seriously, he has long heard that drinks are not good, so he has long switched to drinking freshly squeezed juice. It wasn't until recently that he suddenly learned that even this seemingly healthy juice was lurking with huge risks, and he was shocked.
And Uncle Li is a different scene here. Every Chinese New Year, he always likes to make some medicinal wine to send to relatives and friends. He thinks that it is the wisdom of traditional health care, and when he is older, he can warm up and replenish the body. But his son didn't think so, and the doctor's warning made him understand that not all "medicines" could be drunk "with wine". In today's accelerated pace of modern life, drinking drinks seems to have become a daily routine for many people. But a recent study sheds new light on the dangers of the matter. No matter what kind of sugary drink it is, it is a big threat to our liver. Do you think that as long as you don't drink alcohol, you can ensure the health of your liver? Not really!
According to new research in the journal Nutrients, people who drink sugary beverages daily have a 60% higher risk of fatty liver disease than those who don't drink at all. You may be thinking, then I drink sugar-free and that will solve the problem? To tell you, the answer is no. The artificial sweeteners contained in artificial sweetened beverages will increase the risk of fatty liver disease to 78%, and even the number of artificial sweetened beverages will rise to 94% even when mixed with multiple types of artificial sweetened beverages! 
What? Does it feel like the so-called "sugar-free drinks" are not so reliable? That's right, many sugar-free drinks use certain sweeteners, such as erythritol, which are just as harmful. So what you think you choose is a beautiful trap! What are the consequences of those that are bad for the liver? According to a study by Harvard Medical School, women who drink more than one sugar-sweetened drink per day have an 85% increased risk of liver cancer and a 68% increased risk of death from chronic liver disease. Does this kind of data make you start to suspect that "happy water" is actually "liver water" and "kidney water"?
What's even more frightening is that the sugar and phosphate contained in sugary drinks (including sugar substitutes) may deplete the body's calcium ions, resulting in an increase in calcium concentration in the urine, which may form kidney or urinary tract stones over time. What's more,Other ingredients in these beverages, such as electrolytes, flavors, colors, preservatives, etc., can increase the glomerular filtration task, which in turn can harm kidney function. And our kidneys, once damaged, the consequences are quite serious. Next, let's talk about you who like to drink freshly squeezed juice. We always think it's healthy, but you know what? Freshly squeezed juice is actually another "liver-hurting water". Yes, although it contains a lot of vitamins and minerals, the problem here is that for a better taste, usually the juice is dedromed. When the pomace is removed, the proportion of sugar in the juice increases, and the rate at which it could be absorbed slowly increases. Freshly squeezed juice minus pomace is basically equivalent to sugar water, and the sugar content may be far greater than you think.
For example, a glass of 500 to 600 ml of freshly squeezed fruit juice may contain more than 100 grams of sugar, which is comparable to the sugar content of the same volume of cola. Think about it,The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that you should not consume more than 25 grams of free sugars per day, and a glass of fruit juice can easily exceed the limit. Let's talk about drinking medicinal wine to warm up. Many people think that drinking some medicinal wine can warm up the body, but in fact this is a big mistake. Because the warm feeling after drinking alcohol is actually caused by telangiectasia. Moreover, not all medicinal liquors are suitable for everyone.
For example, some of the medicinal wines you brew in your own home may even be fatal if they are not used properly. Even if it is a regularly produced medicinal liquor, the top liquor has a high alcohol content, which is not good news for the liver. Long-term use, alcohol and its metabolites will cause damage to the liver, and it is a first-class carcinogen, which can cause liver cancer. Well, I think you must be curious now, is your daily drink safe or not, and does it harm your liver? Don't worry, let's keep reading and let's clear the fog step by step and find the truth about healthy eating.
