Soda May Heighten Risk of Pancreatic Cancer
Soft drinks and soda—i.e. the most worthless of all foods—could increase your risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly forms of cancer, with only 5% of people surviving five years after diagnosis.
And now, writing in the journal of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, scientists have found soft drinks, like soda and sugar sweetened juices, increase risk of pancreatic cancer.
Studying over 60,000 middle-aged or older Chinese Singaporeans, researchers tracked how much juice and soda people drank on average, following them for 14 years to see how many developed pancreatic cancer.
Data revealed participants who drank two or more sodas a week were 87% more likely to get cancer than those who didn’t drink soda.
So have a Coke and some cancer—not a smile.

this is just stupid if sugar gives us cancer then every human ever is going to die of cancer cuz everything has sugar in it anything good atleast and no human is going to live there entire life staying healthy and not eating good food
Hey Van, I read through the abstract and juice did not show higher risk of cancer…The study didn’t identify what in soda caused this risk so it’s hard to say if soda water has the same risk, I would say no since it’s just carbonated water. I would guess that it’s some of the other chemicals found in soft drinks that lead to cancer or the combination of them with the sugar…
Hi, I was wondering if soda water would also have the same bad effect as a coke? I regularly drink frozen grape juice, which if I don’t think is sweetened with sugar, is this also a source for cancer?
