Ready-to-drink beverages like bubble tea, instant coffee, and other bottled drinks often contain significant amounts of sugar. Consuming these drinks daily can cause sugar buildup in the body, which is extremely harmful to the liver. The additives in these drinks also contribute to liver damage.
5. Drinks with Excess Vitamins/Minerals
Many people habitually consume drinks with added vitamins and minerals to boost health. However, if taken excessively, especially fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, K), they can accumulate in the liver and become to.xic. The liver works overtime to process excess vitamins and minerals, leading to liver da.mage.
