According to the Qian Zhenghong liver surgeon (Taiwan, China), when it comes to liver drinks, most people think of alcohol.While drinking drinks if drinking a lot is equally "devastated" the liver.A male patient of Dr. Qian did not drink alcohol or smoking but had liver disease early and eventually severe cirrhosis was so liver transplant.

This patient found that fatty liver was not due to alcoholic alcohol at the age of 33.By the age of 47, he was hospitalized for emergency due to sudden vomiting of blood, severe abdominal pain and esophageal varicose veins.The test showed that his liver was only 1/3 of the initial size and serious fibrosis, heavy ascites and forced to wait for the chance of liver transplantation to survive.

The liver drinking water is no less than alcohol

Doctor Qian said:“Although mild fatty liver, if not treated and changes the habit of liver living will be very fast.On average, every 7.7 years of cirrhosis will progress to one more level and can lead to fully cirrhosis within 30 years. ”

However, this patient refuses to lose weight or lifestyle changes, nor do he think that fatty liver is "petty disease".He loves bottled soft drinks and also drinks fruit juice with high sugar.Even when the doctor reminded that they were the cause of fatty liver disease many years ago he refused to give up.This leads to serious cirrhosis and the only option is to wait for the chance of liver transplant.

As explained by Dr. Qian:“Consuming too much sugary drinks such as fresh water or fruit juice is the main cause of non -alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).This is a fat accumulation in the liver, impaired liver function, causing inflammation and leading to cirrhosis.

Besides the liver, drinking too much soft drinks also leads to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease.In particular, people with fatty liver due to drinking soft drinks are at high risk of developing cirrhosis, liver failure, liver cancer ... or other life -threatening complications.
