06 Jan 2023 --- A study published in Nutrients has investigated the relationship between mortality from pancreatic cancer and consuming sugar and artificially sweetened beverages such as cola, diet cola and other soft drinks. It found that consuming one or more regular colas daily increases the fatal malignancy risk by 55%. The study demonstrates the statistical significance of consuming sugar-added beverages on increased mortality risk. However, artificial sugars are to be researched to the same extent. The study notes that no statistical significance exists between regular sugar and artificial sweeteners’ role in increasing pancreatic cancer risk.
