Regular soft drink consumption may increase risk of cancer

According to a study, you could be at an increased risk of developing various cancers if you drink sweetened soda or other sugar-laden fruit juices, sport drinks and energy drinks.

"Recently growing evidence suggests a link between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and the risk of pancreatic and endometrial cancer, as well as the risk of colon cancer recurrence and death among cancer survivors," said Melinda Sothern, Professor at Louisiana State University Health Sciences in New Orleans, US.

Additionally, such individuals may also be at risk of developing health issues like obesity, diabetes and cardio-metabolic diseases.
