3 sweets that can harm the liver

HÀ MY (THEO HEALTHLINE) |

The liver is an important part of the body. Eating sweets can be harmful to the liver.

Cakes, candy and processed foods high in sugar Sugar, especially fructose, found in candy, cookies and processed foods, is converted into fat by the liver.

When there is excess sugar, the liver cannot process it all and begins to store fat, causing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) - a condition that can progress to hepatitis, cirrhosis.

Many studies by the World Health Organization have shown that consuming too much sugar increases the risk of visceral fat accumulation and chronic liver damage.Eating too many sugary foods increases blood glucose levels, forcing the body to produce more insulin to control blood sugar.Over time, the body becomes resistant to insulin, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes - a dangerous factor leading to liver damage, fatty liver and chronic hepatitis.

Milk tea, soft drinks, bottled juices Fructose in soft drinks, milk tea and bottled juices are not used directly by the body like glucose, but must be converted into energy or fat by the liver.

When you consume too much fructose, your liver becomes overloaded and begins to accumulate fat, causing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Fatty liver may not have symptoms at first, but if you continue to consume sugary drinks, the disease can progress to fatty liver inflammation (NASH), cirrhosis, and even liver failure. Milk tea, soft drinks and bottled juices contain a very high amount of sugar, which quickly increases blood sugar levels.

To control blood sugar, the body must secrete more insulin, but if this condition occurs continuously, the body gradually becomes resistant to insulin, causing type 2 diabetes.Diabetes not only affects overall health but also causes serious liver damage, especially increasing the risk of hepatitis and fatty liver.

ice cream, sugary condensed milk and sugary desserts Sugary condensed milk and ice cream have a high glycemic index (GI), which can easily cause a sudden increase in blood sugar levels, forcing the body to secrete more insulin.

If consumed in excess for a long time, the body will gradually become resistant to insulin, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes and insulin resistance are closely linked to fatty liver, hepatitis and impaired liver function. Fructose and corn silk have a high fructose content (HFCS) in many creams and desserts that increase free radical production, causing chronic hepatitis.

Prolonged inflammation can damage liver cells, impair liver function and increase the risk of cirrhosis. In addition, saturated fats in ice cream and dessert also increase blood fat, putting great pressure on the liver.
