Drinking beverages that are high in sugar doubles your risk of bowel cancer. The study by American scientists is published in the journal Gut.
The data for the study were collected for almost 24 years. It found that each daily serving of the sugary drink was associated with a 16 percent increase in likelihood.
By replacing these drinks with artificially sweetened, coffee, semi-fat or whole milk, the risk would be 36 percent lower, according to the researchers.
“Reducing or substituting other, healthier drinks among adolescents and young adults can be a potentially effective strategy for reducing the growing risk of bowel cancer before age 50,” said the experts.
Previously, therapist and TV presenter Elena Malysheva on the air of the program “Living is Healthy!” named a non-obvious symptom that indicates stomach cancer. According to the doctor, an unusual change in skin color can be a symptom of cancer. The physician said that a dark brown stripe on the body can signal a malignant tumor in the stomach. According to Malysheva, usually such a spot can be seen in the neck or armpit.
