Drinks consumed by millions increase the risk of cancer

Tens of thousands of people die each year from cancer in the UK, despite ongoing efforts to diagnose and treat it, and although cancer can strike anyone at any moment, certain stereotyped behaviors have been shown to increase risks, and a recent study published in Gut Magazine The sugar-sweetened beverage so popular with millions doubles the risk of bowel cancer.

And according to a report in the British newspaper “Express”, cancer cells are intractable to solution because they divide and multiply in the body at a rapid rate, often spreading to other areas before they are detected, and this internal advantage helps explain why survival rates are lower than other chronic diseases. However, research suggests that the decisions you make can partly determine your risk of developing cancer in the first place.

Recent research published in the journal Gut linked sugar-sweetened beverages to an increased risk of bowel cancer, and drinking two or more sugar-sweetened beverages per day in adulthood was linked to a doubling of bowel cancer risk before age 50 — at least in women.

The results indicated that each daily serving was associated with a 16 percent higher risk, rising to 32 percent per daily portion during the teenage years.

According to the British Medical Journal (BMJ), sugar-sweetened beverages such as soft drinks and fruit-flavored drinks, and sports and energy drinks, account for the main source (39 percent) of added sugar in American diets.

Regarding the symptoms of bowel cancer, the British Health Service says that more than 90% of people with bowel cancer suffer from looser and runny stools and sometimes abdominal pain, as well as blood in the stool, and sometimes flatulence in the abdomen after eating.
