Diet drinks pose greater liver disease risk than sugary alternatives, study shows

Over the 10-year study period, 1,178 participants developed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and 108 died from liver-related causes.

For generations, the diet drink has been offered as a quiet compromise — the pleasure of sweetness without the guilt of sugar. A decade-long study of more than 123,000 people in the United Kingdom has now dismantled that bargain, finding that artificially sweetened beverages carry an even greater risk of liver disease than their sugary counterparts. The research, presented in Berlin, arrives at a moment when metabolic liver disease already touches more than a third of humanity, asking us to reconsider not which sweetened drink to choose, but whether the choice itself is the problem.
