Women who have sugar-sweetened drinks daily appear to have a higher risk of developing liver cancer and chronic liver disease, according to a recent study.

The study, led by Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Massachusetts, analyzed data from nearly 100,000 postmenopausal women between the ages of 50–79 years old, who were enrolled in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study from 1993 to 1998 at 40 clinical centers across the United States.
