Consumption of excessive soda is not good for health. A study showed that people who drink soda 2 or more times a week had a risk of pancreatic cancer.

Researchers reveal the cause of the increased risk of pancreatic cancer in people who frequent soda consumption is due to the high sugar content. Analysis of data collected from 60,524 adults showed people who drink two or more soft drinks with high sugar levels in a week, a greater risk of pancreatic cancer than those who rarely consume sodas.

But researchers found no relationship between drinking juice with pancreatic cancer. This is because the sugar content in juice not as much on soft drinks. Known in 20 grams of soda contains sugar levels as much as 65 grams.

Participants involved in this study ate two or more soft drinks per week. It also visits other factors such as smoking, drinking alcohol, high-calorie food consumption and physical activity. The findings of this study is adjusted with other factors associated with pancreatic cancer is the consumption of red meat. It turned out that another adjustment does not alter the relationship between soft drinks and the risk of pancreatic cancer. suspected of sugar in soft drinks as the culprit.

Soft drinks himself has played a role against the development of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels) and hiperinsulemia (insulin levels in the blood exceeds the normal amount). Insulin is produced by the pancreas to help regulate blood sugar levels. High sugar content in soda affects insulin levels, so the researchers think it led to the growth of pancreatic cells that are not normal.

Pancreatic cancer is one fatal cancer for adults, by 5 percent of patients with pancreatic cancer can not survive more than 5 years after diagnosis. Hence it could not hurt to reduce consumption of carbonated beverages, because already many studies showing the dangers of consuming carbonated drinks too much.
