Soda linked to liver disease

Dr. Mike with the FOX Medical Team joins FOX6 WakeUp to talk about fatty liver disease.

MILWAUKEE - A new study finds drinking as little as one can of diet soda a day may increase the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by 60 percent – while drinking a sugary beverage could raise that risk by 50 percent. 

The damage can be similar to what's seen in a heavy drinker and can lead to "cirrhosis" as well as liver cancer.
