A group of Spanish scientists examined in their study the link between the consumption of Cola & Co sugary drinks and the risk of developing breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is becoming more common worldwide.. Scientists believe that insulin resistance may increase the risk of developing breast cancer. The body needs the hormone insulin to process sugar, which enters the bloodstream after eating, and from it - into the cells of the body. In them, sugar is processed into energy..

However, when the body stops responding adequately to insulin, resistance to it develops, the so-called resistance. This means that human cells are no longer susceptible to insulin.. There are several possible reasons for the development of pathology: malnutrition, in particular, the use of sugar-containing beverages of famous brands (cola, soda, ice tea, etc.).

Very sweet drinks.

Scientists from Spain in a recent study examined the relationship between drinking soft drinks and the subsequent risk of developing breast cancer.. They surveyed 10,713 middle-aged women (average 33 years), all of whom completed their studies.. At the beginning of the study, none of the women suffered from breast cancer.. The number of drunk sweet soft drinks was entered into a special questionnaire.

During the follow-up period, 100 women developed breast cancer.. Some of them have already reached menopause by this time, tons. entered the period of menopause. In these women, there was a definite link between the risk of breast cancer and the consumption of sugary soft drinks..

Postmenopausal women who consumed the drinks described above developed breast cancer much more often than women who rarely or never drank sweet soft drinks.

Preliminary result.

These data suggest that soft drinks can increase the risk of breast cancer: women who have already reached menopause and regularly drank sugar-containing soft drinks showed a greater tendency to develop breast cancer compared to women who drank little or not such drinks.

The research results are published on the NCBI website (National Center for Biotechnology Information). According to scientists, it is necessary to conduct further research to obtain more detailed results..
