Liver Damage...Without The Glass Of Chianti

In the past, most people who have been concerned about liver damage worry about the effects of alcohol on their livers. However, recent studies indicate that sugary non-alcoholic drinks can also have a detrimental effect on the liver. Some mice were given sugar-sweetened water and others were given water sweetened artificially. Fatty liver disease was more prevalent among the mice who consumed the sugared water.

These studies are just further proof that we should limit our consumption of sweets and high fructose corn syrup. Besides contributing to the quickly rising obesity levels in the US, these foods are also detrimental to the function of our organs.
