Comments: 11WASHINGTON -- People who consume two or more sugary soft drinks a week have a much higher risk of pancreatic cancer, researchers reported yesterday.
Sugar may be to blame, but people who regularly drink sugared sodas often have other poor health habits, said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota, who led the study of 60,000 people in Singapore.

If 2 sodas a week caused pancreatic cancer, the number of cases in the US each year would be in the millions instead of the 38,000 that are reported.

"Soda" makes you write stupid things in the NY Post!
Ever see what Coka Cola does to a car battery? If you did, you'd never drink that cr#p again!

Funny you should mention that Mr. Divo. Since up to 70% of sexually active adults carry the HPV virus which is linked to cancer, then throat cancer is a real possibility in that scenario!

Enough already of soda, butter, cigarettes etc. causing cancer. My God what's next on the causes list --oral copulation?

If you breathe air, eat food, and if you were at any time in your life born, you are going to die! Birth is the leading cause of death. Everyone who eats food and breathes air is going to die.
