A type of cancer, inevitably

Intestinal cancer is inevitable if you drink this drink daily. A team of researchers from the Harvard TH Chan School in Boston and the Washington University of Medicine have discovered a terrible thing for health.

You double the risk of cancer if you consume 2 glasses of carbonated drinks a day, according to Express.

Intestinal cancer is inevitable if you drink this drink daily. These include all types of fizzy drinks – from soda to sports drinks. The worrying finding may be contributing to an alarming rise in rates of early-onset colorectal cancer – a type of cancer which is the second deadliest in the UK.

In response to these findings, the study’s lead author, Dr. Yin Cao of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, called for initiatives to reduce the consumption of these drinks.

“It could serve as a potential strategy to alleviate the growing burden.” The researchers found that replacing sugary soda with artificially sweetened beverages, coffee, or semi-skimmed or full-fat milk reduced the risk by between 17 and 36 percent.

This finding comes from tracking the eating habits of 95,464 nurses in the United States, aged between 25 and 42, reports Wales Online.

Over a period of almost 24 years, these women reported on their food and drink consumption using validated questionnaires every four years. In addition, 41,272 participants also noted what they consumed between the ages of 13 and 18.

During the study, 109 participants were diagnosed with bowel cancer before their 50th birthday. The researchers found that their higher rates were directly attributable to regular consumption of carbonated beverages.

The study researchers took into account additional factors such as health conditions, lifestyle activities and the body mass index (BMI) of their adolescent subjects. The research also took into account the use of aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or vitamin supplements and family history of the disease.”
