Men who like sweet fizzy drinks should take care not only of teeth and extra pounds. As it turned out, soda can provoke problems much worse, namely, cause the development of prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer ranks second in the prevalence of cancer and is second only to lung cancer.
Swedish scientists from Lund University report that even one bank of sweet fizzy drink per day increases the risk of developing prostate cancer by 40%.
They also found a link between the use of pasta, as well as rice and the risk of developing lung cancers of the prostate that do not need treatment - frequent use of these products increases the risk of cancer on 31%.
Also, to the lungs of prostate cancer can lead to the love of sweet flakes, which many like to eat for breakfast - the risk increases by 38%.
The results of research scientists published in the journal "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition". The scientists' conclusions are based on studies and observations of 8,000 volunteers aged 45 to 73 years. All subjects conducted notes, noting what exactly their diet consists of, and also regularly passed tests and underwent medical examinations.
"We detected an increased risk of developing a malignant tumor in men who often use soft drinks or drinks with added sugar," said lead author Isabel Drake. "Those who drank even 330 milliliters of soft drinks a day were at risk of developing a serious form of prostate cancer that requires medical treatment."
Despite the fact that to examine all the dangers and factors that affect the appearance of prostate cancer, it takes time and additional research, it is obvious that harmful soft drinks and the need to reduce their use.
The next study by a specialist will be to study the effect of various foods and diets on genes.
