The Claim
Consumption of 100% fruit juice is associated with a 12% higher risk of overall cancer per 100 mL/day increase in intake, based on 2,193 cancer cases.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Drinking more fruit juice every day might raise your chance of getting cancer by 12% for each extra 100 mL you drink, because it has a lot of sugar like soda does.
See the scientific wording
Consumption of 100% fruit juice is associated with a 12% higher risk of overall cancer per 100 mL/day increase in intake, based on 2,193 cancer cases. This finding challenges the perception of fruit juice as a healthy alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages, as it contains similar sugar content (median 10.3g/100mL) and high glycemic index.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Sugary drink consumption and risk of cancer: results from NutriNet-Santé prospective cohort
The study looked at drinking fruit juice and found it increases cancer risk, just like the claim says, so it supports the idea that fruit juice might not be as healthy as people think.
