A recent study suggests that consuming sugary drinks may increase the risk of oral cancer, with women who drank one or more sugary drinks daily being 4.87 times more likely to develop the disease than those who consumed fewer than one sugary drink per month. Researchers from the University of Washington analyzed data from over 162,000 women and found a significant association between high sugar-sweetened beverage intake and oral cancer risk. While the study’s limitations highlight the need for further research, the findings provide compelling evidence that sugary drinks may be a contributing factor to the rising incidence of oral cancer worldwide.
