Just 2 sodas per day has been linked to almost doubling your risk for developing pancreatic cancer!
This is really scary given that pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer – only 5 percent of those diagnosed are are alive five years after diagnosis.
Researchers believe that the high level of sugar in soft drinks increases insulin levels, which then contributes to the cancer cell growth.

The study followed over 60,000 men and women in Singapore for 14 years, during this time there were 140 pancreatic cancer cases.
The results are being released by The American Association for Cancer Research – so they are taking them seriously.
Hopefully this will make it easier to deny your children a soda next time they are begging for one! Not to mention being a little kick in the butt for our own discipline.
Just in case this doesn’t make you think twice about your next soda, Dr. Oz recently quoted Harvard researchers, stating that drinking just ONE soda per day increases your risk for developing Type 2 diabetes by 83%!

This is a most important public service announcement. Thank you for bringing this message to the public’s awareness. Drink Responsibly !
I’m down to a soda or two a month!! Its quite different for me now..I used to drink soda everyday but not anymore..it started out being a financial reason and then I cut down bc I needed to lose a few pounds which finally I did!! I do like my occasional coke..I’m proud of myself for giving it up as a daily thing and now I only drink it when I go out to lunch..now with this article I will definitely continue that practice of only having it once in a while..I definitely worry about some of my relatives who drink soda at least 3 times a day…I hope your info can help change that!!!
That’s a huge improvement.
