What Types of Cancer Are Linked to Sugary Drink Consumption?
Research has identified several types of cancer that may be linked to the consumption of sugary drinks:
- Breast Cancer: Some studies suggest a correlation between high sugary drink intake and an increased risk of breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women. - Colorectal Cancer: Regular consumption of sugary beverages has been associated with an elevated risk of colorectal cancer, possibly due to its effects on weight and blood sugar levels. - Pancreatic Cancer: High sugar intake can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, likely through the mechanism of insulin resistance and inflammation.
