Sweetened beverages linked to pancreas cancer

A new study finds drinking two or more sweetened drinks per
week increases one's risk of developing pancreatic tumors -
the rare but deadliest type of cancer.

According to the study published in Cancer Epidemiology,
Biomarkers & Prevention, those who drink soft drinks
frequently are at an 87 percent higher risk of developing
pancreatic cancer.

Such an increased risk, however, was not reported in
individuals who drink fruit juice rather than sodas.

"The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing
the level of insulin in the body, which we think contributes
to pancreatic cancer cell growth," said lead researcher Mark
Pereira.

While sugar is considered as the main factor contributing to
the link, Minnesota scientists say drinking such beverages
is commonly associated with other bad habits such as smoking
and red meat intake, which may aggravate the association.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
