Beverage Consumption and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD): A Review of Sugar-Sweetened and Low/No-Sugar Sweetened Drinks with Implications for India

Country India
Abstract Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD; formerly often termed non- alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD) is a growing public health concern globally and in India. Emerg- ing evidence suggests that consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and even low- or no- sugar sweetened beverages (LNSSBs) may contribute to MASLD risk via mechanisms including in- sulin resistance, hepatic fat accumulation, and metabolic dysfunction. This review summarises recent epidemiological, mechanistic and meta-analytic evidence for SSBs and LNSSBs in relation to MASLD, discusses potential biological pathways, examines the Indian epidemiological context (prevalence of MASLD/NAFLD, beverage patterns), and highlights knowledge gaps and research priorities for India. A comparative table contrasts SSBs versus LNSSBs in risk mechanisms, epidemiological evidence and policy implications. We also present graphs of MASLD/NAFLD prevalence in selected Indian cities. The review aims to inform conference participants about beverage-related liver risk and to stimulate discussion of preventive strategies in the Indian context
