The Claim

Linear dose-response relationships were observed between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and increased risk of breast and kidney cancers, and between artificially sweetened beverage and 100% fruit juice consumption and increased risk of pancreatic cancer, suggesting that higher intake correlates with greater risk, though evidence is derived from observational data with low certainty.

What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

Challenges

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

In plain English

Drinking more sugary drinks, diet drinks, or fruit juice seems to raise the chance of getting certain cancers, but the research isn't very certain yet.

See the scientific wording

Linear dose-response relationships were observed between SSB consumption and increased risk of breast and kidney cancers, and between ASB and 100% fruit juice consumption and increased risk of pancreatic cancer, suggesting that higher intake correlates with greater risk, though evidence is from observational data with low certainty.

What the research says

1 study
  1. 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, diet drinks, or fruit juice is linked to higher chances of certain cancers, just like the claim said, but the proof isn't super strong.
