Sugary Drinks Linked to 2.5x GI Cancer Risk, New U.S. Study Finds

A large U.S. study of more than 112,000 health professionals found that daily consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (including juices and sports drinks) was associated with about a 2.5-fold higher risk of developing stomach (gastric) cancer, compared with those who drank fewer than one such beverage per month; artificially sweetened drinks did not show the same link. Researchers point to possible fructose-related effects (obesity, insulin resistance, inflammation, hormonal changes, or gut microbiome alterations) and note this is the first study to demonstrate the association in a U.S. population.

Sugary drinks may raise stomach cancer risk, large cohort study finds

A large Harvard-affiliated cohort study found that consuming at least one sugar-sweetened beverage per day was linked to a 2.45-fold higher risk of gastric cancer compared with consuming less than one per month, with higher fructose intake tied to greater risk; the study is observational and cannot prove causation, and findings need replication across diverse populations.

Daily Sugary Drinks Linked to Higher Gastric Cancer Risk in US Study

An analysis of two large US cohorts (Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study) found that drinking at least one sugar-sweetened beverage per day was associated with a 2.45-fold higher risk of gastric cancer versus non-drinkers, with women facing roughly threefold and men about twofold increased risk. The study emphasizes correlation, not causation, and notes limitations such as incomplete data on Helicobacter pylori infection and health histories. Proposed mechanisms include weight gain, insulin resistance, inflammation, and microbiome changes; findings were published in Gastro Hep Advances.

Daily Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Linked to Higher Gastric Cancer Risk, U.S. Study Finds

A study of more than 100,000 Americans finds that consuming at least one sugar-sweetened beverage per day is associated with more than a twofold increase in gastric cancer risk versus rarely consuming them. Sugar-sweetened beverages include regular soda, energy drinks and sugared juice; artificially sweetened beverages were not linked. The research, which notes limitations such as a predominantly White sample aged 30–75, underscores the need for further work to understand the biology behind the association. About 63% of U.S. adults report daily SSB intake.

Sugary Drinks Linked to 340,000 Deaths Worldwide in 2020

A Nature Medicine analysis tying sugar-sweetened beverages to 340,000 deaths in 2020 from heart disease and type 2 diabetes finds 2.2 million new diabetes and 1.2 million heart disease cases linked to SSBs that year. The burden is greatest in Latin America and the Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa, with younger urban men most affected. Mechanisms include rapid liquid sugar absorption causing glucose spikes, insulin resistance, visceral fat, and inflammation. Experts recommend limiting SSBs and replacing them with water or non-caloric drinks, and suggest less than one serving per week for many people; note that the study is observational, showing association, not causation.

Teens' Anxiety Linked to High Sugar Drink Intake, Meta-Analysis Finds

A Bournemouth University–led systematic review and meta-analysis of nine studies finds that high consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with a 34% increased risk of anxiety symptoms in adolescents. Seven of nine studies showed a significant link. While causation isn’t proven, experts suggest blood sugar spikes and crashes from sugary drinks may affect mood, and reducing intake or choosing alternatives like sparkling water, herbal tea, or unsweetened milk could help.

How Fast Food and Sugary Drinks Shorten Your Life

A study found that consuming fizzy drinks can shorten healthy life by 12 minutes, while healthier food choices like nuts, fruits, and vegetables can add minutes to lifespan. Small dietary changes, such as reducing processed foods and substituting meats with whole grains and plant-based options, can significantly improve health and longevity.

Diet Drinks May Pose Greater Liver Risks Than Sugary Beverages

A large UK study found that both sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened drinks are associated with a higher risk of liver disease (MASLD), with artificially sweetened drinks potentially being more harmful, highlighting water as the safest beverage choice.

Improving Blood Sugar: The Impact of Eating Habits

A large study shows that the form and source of sugar matter: sugary drinks like soda and fruit juice increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, while sugar from whole foods like fruit may actually lower the risk, highlighting the importance of how we consume sugar for metabolic health.

New Study Highlights How Sugar Consumption Methods Impact Diabetes Risk

New research from BYU shows that the source of sugar significantly impacts health, with sugary drinks like soda and fruit juice increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes, while sugars in nutrient-rich solid foods may be less harmful or protective. Drinking liquid sugars causes greater metabolic disruption than consuming sugars in whole foods, suggesting a need to differentiate dietary guidelines based on sugar sources.
