There's more bad news for fans of sugary drinks such as soda and fruit juice.
A new study has linked drinking just a small glass of a sugary drink per day -- 100 ml, about a third of a typical can of soda -- to an 18% increase in overall cancer risk and a 22% increase in risk for breast cancer.
The research, which looked at more than 100,000 French adults, links consumption of sugary drinks to an increased risk of some cancers. This follows a recent study linking sugary beverage consumption to greater risk of premature death.
"The results indicate statistically significant correlations between the consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks and risk of all cancers combined, and of breast cancer," said Ian Johnson, nutrition researcher and emeritus fellow, Quadram Institute Bioscience, who wasn't involved in the research.
"Surprisingly perhaps, the increased risk of cancer in heavier consumers of sugary drinks was observed even among consumers of pure fruit juice -- this warrants more research," Johnson told the Science Media Centre in the UK.
Mathilde Touvier, lead author of the study which was published Wednesday in medical journal BMJ, said that the findings added to research showing that reducing how many sweetened beverages we drink would be beneficial for our health.
"What we observed was that the main driver of the association seems to be really the sugar contained in these sugary drinks," said Touvier, who is the research director of the Nutritional Epidemiology Research Team of the National Health and Medical Research Institute at the Paris 13 University.
Touvier said her team observed that sugar seemed to be the main driver of the link.
"High sugary drinks consumption is a risk factor for obesity and weight gain," she said, and, "obesity is in itself a risk factor for cancer."

uh-oh.
Oh noes, cancer!
Must be the shooga
Insulin; Not your father’s diabetes cause anymore
Swallowing small bits of saliva over a period of 70+ years tends to lead to cancer..............
There was a real good study that came out last year declaring that Living will cause death.
HFCS......................
Any time you see "linked to" you know it is not a clinical study, the scientific method was not followed, and it's at best a slight indication that maybe a real study should be done. At best.
So my orange juice causes cancer? What the heck?
Dying is the leading cause of death
Here is a link for you:
“In a study published in 2015 in The Lancet, the health outcomes of nearly 140,000 people across 17 countries were tracked over four years, via a variety of measures—including grip strength. Grip strength was not only “inversely associated with all-cause mortality”—every 5 kilogram (kg) decrement in grip strength was associated with a 17 percent risk increase—but as the team, led by McMaster University professor of medicine Darryl Leong, noted: “Grip strength was a stronger predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality than systolic blood pressure....
...Low grip strength has been linked to longer hospital stays, and in a study of hospitalized cancer patients, it was linked to a “an approximate 3-fold decrease in probability of discharge alive.””

Has it occurred to anyone that a person who drinks a lot of sugary drinks may be doing a LOT of unhealthy living? That like grip strength, it is a symptom of many poor choices rather than a cause of anything?
Scientists have shown a link between inhaling a gaseous mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen, and death.
An orange is fine, but not orange juice?
I’m slowly removing sugar from my diet. Ice cream maybe once a month. A bit of honey in my morning granola. I made cornbread yesterday for Mr. Mercat. A bit of sugar. We drink a smoothie every day. My doctor wants me to take Tamoxafin. Evil stuff. But I am at risk for cancer. 71, two time cancer survivor. Haven’t had fruit juice for years. Our smoothies are mostly veggies with a lemon, maybe frozen pineapple added.
It’s the same flawed research that led to the untimely banning of cyclamates. In fact, we now know that cyclamates have the same health risk as saccharin and aspartame, and those are legal as sugar substitutes.
Life is a terminal disease. There is but only one cure... death.
Why don't they honestly call them "corn-syrupy drinks?" Too much advertising money at stake?
"Sugary" drinks are pretty rare on American store shelves.
