People who drink a lot of sugary drinks have a high risk of developing cancer, researchers announced last week. However, the evidence cannot yet establish a direct connection between the two. The researchers said the findings of a large study in France suggest that limiting the amount of sugar-sweetened drinks may help reduce the number of cancer cases. Drinking sugary drinks has become more common worldwide in the last several decades. Sugar drinks are linked to obesity, the condition of being extremely overweight, which increases a person’s cancer risk. The study was published in the BMJ British medical journal.
