Soda increases the risk of breast cancer

Researchers from Laval University found that three glasses on 0,355 ml of sweet drinks a week increase the risk of breast cancer.

Canadian scientists researched and interviewed 1555 women of all ages. The participants answered how often they drank sweetened juices and sodas. The experts then checked out breast density is through a mammogram. It turned out that women who consumed more than three servings of drinks per week, had breast density of 29.6%, compared to 26.2% in those who drank lesser amounts of such beverages.

According to scientists, sugar causes an increase in breast density due to the reduction of adipose tissue and replacing it with cells that can become cancerous. The study's author Caroline Diorio comments on the results: "Increased about three per cent in breast density is not negligible with respect to the risk of breast cancer. Taking into account the increase in worldwide sugar consumption, it is important to continue research on this issue and to start informing the public about the adverse effects of sugar consumption".
