In short
Water is best. Plain coffee may even help the liver. Sugary drinks and packaged juices are among the worst.
Sugary drinks are high in fructose, which the liver turns into fat easily. Swapping them for water is one of the simplest changes you can make.
- Good: water, plain coffee, tea without sugar, laban
- Limit: fresh juice (eat the whole fruit instead)
- Avoid: soft drinks, energy drinks, sweetened juices, sweet tea and coffee drinks
- Alcohol: the less the better
