Okay, we now know that soda is
crummy for your kidneys and
poor for your pancreas, but a new study in
Hepatology shows that high-fructose corn syrup -- found in most sodas -- is also lousy for your liver. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a condition that sometimes stems from obesity, sets the stage for worse liver conditions such as cirrhosis, liver cancer and liver failure. The
Duke University liver study showed that subjects who consumed more fructose ran the same risks -- liver scarring and liver inflammation -- as heavy alcoholics. Here's a creepy tidbit: one of the lead hepatologists on the study estimated that high-fructose corn syrup now makes up 10% of our caloric intake after being introduced into our food in the 1970s.
