11 Jul 2019 --- Sugary drinks – including fruit juice and soda – may increase the overall risk of cancer, a study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) has found. While sugary drinks have already been indirectly linked to cancer through obesity, the researchers suggest this connection could also be due to other factors – such as increased blood sugar or visceral fat levels. The French-based study is the first significant research to establish a specific association between sugar and cancer, but the researchers posit that further work is warranted to cement sugary drinks as a modifiable cancer risk.
