Regular soft drink consumption may increase risk of cancer

The results of the study indicate that sugar-sweetened beverage consumption behaviour varies across cancers and may be related to age.

Intervention programmes to reduce consumption of added sugar be focused on lower socio-economic status, young males, as well as cervical cancer survivors, the researchers suggested.

They also recommend that custom intervention to decrease added sugar consumption be conducted for both non-cancer individuals and cancer survivors in communities and the medical care system.

For the study, the team examined data from 22,182 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2012 data.
