Carbonated Drinks Are Likely To Increase The Risk Of Cancer

There is growing evidence linking the consumption of carbonated and sweetened beverages to the development of various cancers.

Carbonated and sweetened beverages are likely to carry a risk of developing cancer , depending on factors such as age, socio-economic status and medical history. This is clear from the data of a new study conducted by researchers from New Orleans in the United States. 
 
Experts examine data on the consumption of carbonated beverages , sweetened fruit drinks, those that have a fruity aroma, sports and energy drinks, sweetened teas and coffees , and others to which sugar is added. The data are from 22,182 adults. 
 
For the purposes of the study, the participants' medical history was also taken into account, in particular cancer , whether they were smokers or not, whether they were obese or not. Characteristics such as age, gender, race, level of education and their socio-economic status are also taken into account. 
 
The analysis showed that the effects of consuming sugar- sweetened soft drinks vary depending on the type of cancer and may be related to age. 
 
The researchers explained that the aim of the study was to carefully assess the risk factors for the consumption of sweetened beverages among people who have survived cancer and those undiagnosed with such a disease. 
 
 
They add that recently, more and more evidence is pointing to the link between the consumption of sugary drinks and the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, endometrial cancer and colon cancer . In addition, most people are not aware of how much sugar they contain. 
 
Researchers also offer recommendations for specific programs that have the potential to reduce the consumption of added sugars . According to experts, they would be most effective if they focused on people with low socio-economic status, young men and women who have survived cervical cancer. 
 
The data are contained in Translational Cancer Research .
