In plain English

Drinking sugary drinks quickly puts a lot of sugar into your blood, which can create conditions in your body that might help cancer grow because these drinks don't have fiber, don't make you feel full, and get absorbed really fast.

What the research says

3 studies
  1. Study: Sugary drink consumption and risk of cancer: results from NutriNet-Santé prospective cohort

    The study found that drinking sugary beverages increases cancer risk, which supports the idea that these drinks might help cancer grow, but it doesn't prove exactly how they do it.

  2. Study: Association of soft drinks and 100% fruit juice consumption with risk of cancer: a systematic review and dose–response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies

    The study found that drinking more sugary drinks is linked to higher cancer risk, which supports the idea that these drinks might help cancer grow.

  3. Study: Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice and human cancer: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of observational studies

    The study found that drinking sugary drinks like soda is linked to higher cancer risk, which backs up the idea that these drinks might help cancer grow.
