Health Buzz: Study Ties Soft-Drink Intake to Pancreatic Cancer

Reader Comments

It's important to understand why sugar leads to cancer. The disease feeds on sugar. We all have cancer cells inside us and if we eat or drink anything sugary too much, we will be feeding those cancer cells. They become stronger and grow fast. Prevention of cancer boils down to common sense. Why should you drink sugar-laden sodas when your body doesn't need them? Your body needs water.

You should take everything especially food in moderation. Get help from a medical professional and be good to yourself and you may live a happy health life. It is not easy living in this "bigger is better" microwave world.

The number not withstanding, the abject truth is for each and every one to reduce the level of their sugar intake for a healthier society so that the world can be a better place to live in.

This study is a pretty lame way to claim something. 60,524 people, and only 140 of them got Pancreatic Cancer.

Another news article on this said that, of those 140 people, 110 of them did not even drink soda. (posted on the WebMD website)

How they come to this conclusion is ridiculous. If anything, it points to being less likely to get cancer.

You are totally wrong over the legivity of the years of smoking It can cause problems. I had a cousin who smoked 1 to 2 packs a day on her last years in life. She only lived to be in her mid fifties. She died of lung cancer and other related smoking problems. My Aunt she died of cancer over half was caused by smoking I was told. Her husband does have related smoking ailments My Mother who smoked She died of related smoking disorders. Yet her demeniatian was caused by Smoking related problems. It was from no enough oxgenated blood going to brain. Yet, she was much better mentally than her mother or her two oldest sisters. They both had Alzheimer's disease. My mother was not ever diagnoised with this condition.You explain that one.
