Study Links Daily Sugary Drink Consumption to Increased Stomach Cancer Risk
A study involving over 112,000 people found that daily consumption of sugary drinks, including soft drinks and colas, is associated with a 2.45 times higher risk of stomach cancer compared to non-consumers. The risk was about three times higher for women and twice for men. Researchers note this observational study does not prove causation but suggests links through factors like weight gain, insulin resistance, and inflammation. The findings add to concerns about health risks from excessive sugar intake.
