A Daily Glass of Soda or Juice<br />Can Increase Your Risk of Cancer According to a new French study that looked<br />at more than 100,000 people, sugary drinks<br />are linked to an increased risk of cancer. They found that a 100 ml sugary drink per day<br />led to a 18% increase in overall cancer risk and<br />a 22% increase in breast cancer risk. The study participants were<br />79% women and 21% men. The observational study was<br />conducted over a nine-year period. Sugary drink consumption was self-reported by<br />participants through the use of questionnaires. On average, men consumed<br />90.3 ml of sugary drinks daily, while<br />women only consumed 74.6 ml. A total of 2,193 cases of cancer were diagnosed<br />during the study’s follow-up period, with the average<br />age at the time of diagnosis being 59 years old. Researchers believe that additives in<br />sugary drinks, such as 4-methylimidazole,<br />could also play a role in cancer formation.
