Cancer disease is spreading like an epidemic all over the world. Every year the death toll from this disease is also increasing. In most of the cases cancer is being reported late. The biggest reason for the occurrence of this disease is the relaxed lifestyle and spoiled food. In some cases, this disease also occurs due to genetic reasons. Now in a research it has been found that women can become victims of liver cancer by drinking sweet drinks. A study conducted in America has revealed that the risk of liver cancer has been found to be 85 percent higher in women who consume sweet drinks daily. Along with this, the risk of getting infected with chronic liver disease and death also increases to about 70 percent.
This has been revealed in a study done on women in the last 20 years. This research has been published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA). It has also been said in this research that in the next 20 years, deaths due to liver cancer may increase by more than 50 percent.
Liver cancer and the risk of these diseases
Long Gang Jao, the lead author of this research, has said that there is a connection between sugar and liver cancer. Drinks which contain more sugar and if they are consumed every day, then it increases the risk of liver cancer. Apart from liver cancer, it can also cause liver cirrhosis, liver failure and chronic hepatitis. However, this research needs to be done on a large scale and more research should be done on this topic. If similar results come, then the relationship between sweetened beverages and liver cancer can be established in a better way.
What are the symptoms of liver cancer
Liver cancer is caused by the growth of unhealthy cancer cells in the liver. The initial symptoms of this disease are not easily detected. In many cases, even if there is some problem, people ignore it. Persistent abdominal pain, vomiting, constant tiredness and loss of weight are the initial symptoms of this cancer. Doctors say that bad eating habits are the main reason for liver cancer.
