- Including fruit juice (even with no added sugar), soft drinks, sweetened milkshakes, energy drinks and tea
or coffee with sugar stirred in.
- Drinking an extra 100ml of sugary drinks a day - about two cans a week - would increase the risk of
developing cancer by 18%.
- For every 1,000 people in the study, there were 22 cancers.
- 2,193 cancers found during the study
- 693 were breast cancers
- 291 were prostate cancers
- 166 were colorectal cancers
- People who drank the most (about 185ml a day) had more cancer cases than
those who drank the least (less than 30ml a day).
- Obesity is a major cause of some cancers - and excessive
consumption of sugary drinks would increase the odds of
putting on weight.
