Sugary drinks linked to cancer risk

Drinking two sugary drinks a day almost doubles the risk of pancreatic cancer, a study suggests.

Researchers linked excess sugar, in fizzy drinks or added to tea and coffee to the increased risk.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition research looked at 80,000 men and women between 1997 and 2005 - 131 who developed pancreatic cancer.

A person's diet has a significant effect on their risk of several types of cancer including pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is a deadly form of the disease, which is difficult to treat.
Just over 15,000 people are diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas each year.
Up to a third of cases are linked to smoking.

Pancreatic cancer is most common in people aged 60 or over. It is difficult to treat because it is often not diagnosed until it has spread beyond the pancreas.
The risk of developing pancreatic cancer was 70% higher for those who added sugar to their drinks at least five times a day.

Despite the fact that the chances of developing pancreatic cancer are relatively small, it's important to learn more about the risk factors behind the disease. It is perhaps the most serious form of cancer, with very poor prognosis for its victims. Since it's difficult to treat and is often discovered too late, it's particularly important that we learn to prevent it. We know that a person's diet has a significant effect on their risk of several types of cancer including pancreatic cancer.

Each Chinese organ system is sensitive to flavors. In the case of the Spleen and Pancreas, excessive sweet consumption tends to weaken both organs, whether sugar or artificial sweeteners. Some common signs of the weakened Spleen/Pancreas system are: fatigue, digestive disorders, weight gain, swellings in various regions, excessive mucus or phlegm, dizziness or vertigo, heart palpitations, worry or anxiety, muscle pain and bruising easily.
