Is it true that sugary drinks increase the risk of cancer?
It's true, everyone should drink less sugary drinks.
Recently, a paper published in the British Medical Journal said that drinking 100ml sugary drinks every day will increase the overall probability of cancer by 18% and the probability of breast cancer by 23%, even if it is pure fruit juice, it will have the same effect. The research results have aroused people's extensive concern, and once became hot news in Weibo.
Researchers believe that sugar in beverages may have an impact on visceral fat and blood sugar levels, thereby increasing the risk of cancer. In addition, additives and other substances in beverages may also play a role. The researchers said that this is only an observational study, and the relevant results have yet to be verified by other large-scale studies. However, the results of the study show that measures such as increasing sugar tax and strengthening the marketing management of sugary drinks may help reduce the incidence of cancer.
What are the hazards of sugary drinks?
1. Promote dental caries.
Sugar contained in sugary drinks will adhere to the tooth surface and decompose and metabolize to produce acid, which is beneficial to the growth of acid-resistant bacteria and directly leads to the softening and decalcification of the tooth surface. The longer the time, the deeper the spots and holes of dental caries, and even lead to pulpitis and even tooth loss and loss.
2. Increase the risk of diabetes.
Regular consumption of sugary drinks can cause obesity, and obesity itself is the main cause of diabetes. In particular, the sugars in sweet drinks are dissolved monosaccharides and disaccharides, which are very easy to be absorbed and will cause a rapid increase in blood sugar, which is more serious than eating the same weight of candy directly.
3. Raise blood pressure.
Sugary drinks not only do not quench thirst, but also need to drink more water, which has become a vicious circle, and there is a trend of addiction to drinking sugary drinks. Every time you drink a can of sweet drinks, the diastolic blood pressure will be higher than the normal value 1.6 mm Hg, and the systolic blood pressure will be higher than 0.8 mm Hg. In the long run, blood pressure is extremely high.
4. lead to obesity.
At present, the sugar content of sweet drinks in China is not low. According to a bottle of 500ml, the sugar content is more than 50 grams, and each gram of sugar will bring 4 kilocalories. The heat brought by drinking two bottles of such sweet drinks is about equal to the heat of an adult meal! Research shows that a can of sugary drinks a day will increase your weight by about 7 kilograms a year!
5. Lead to unbalanced nutrition.
People who drink more sugary drinks usually consume less dietary fiber, and also eat less starchy staple food and protein. For developing children and adolescents, it is easy to cause puffiness and malnutrition There are also studies suggesting that people who drink more sugary drinks have insufficient intake of vitamins and minerals. It can be seen that the nutritional imbalance caused by sugary drinks is multifaceted.
What diseases can often be caused by drinking sugary drinks?

Which drinks have high sugar content?
1. Iced black tea
The sugar content is 9.6g/ 100ml. Iced black tea can be said to be one of the classics in beverages, and I believe everyone has drunk it. I still remember when I was a child, I took a sip of iced black tea and felt like flying. Now in summer, the refrigerator is still stocked as a drink in the meal to get rid of boredom.
2. Pepsi
Sugar content 10.2g/ 100ml. This blue Pepsi-Cola comes from Bali. We don't sell it directly in China. All we can buy are imported goods. I don't know if this blue taste is better than ordinary black, but the sugar content is as high as ordinary coke. I suggest that you don't drink this carbonated drink often.
3. Fruit orange
The sugar content is 9.7g/ 100ml. When it was first introduced, it was deeply loved by everyone. There were a lot of fruit in the bottle. Shake it before drinking and pour it out. It was a super happy feeling to swallow the full fruit in one gulp. The sugar content is relatively small.
4. Coca Cola
Sugar content 10.6g/ 100ml. There is little difference in sugar content between Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, but most people think that Coca-Cola is sweeter than Pepsi-Cola. What do you think?
5. rock sugar Sydney
Sugar content 12.4g/ 100ml. Rock sugar Sydney is a domestic feature, which has the functions of moistening lung, clearing dryness, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, nourishing blood and promoting granulation in traditional Chinese medicine diet. However, the sugar content should not be underestimated. As you know from the product name, there must be a lot of sugar added, even a little more than cola.
