There is a misconception that coffee and soda boost the risk of colon cancer. A new study suggests that coffee and carbonated soft drinks do not increase the risk of colon cancer.
Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health have drawn the conclusion after analyzing 13 studies, which involved more than 730,000 people in North America and Europe. More than 5,600 developed colon cancer.
Previous studies are bit confusing whereas some findings were suggesting coffee and tea prevent the risk of cancer. And some other findings proved that anti-oxidants containing coffee and tea have also polyamines, which in theory promote cancer.
Sugary sodas are linked to weight gain, obesity, and other conditions that boost the risk of colon cancer.
However, the new study suggests not to consume tea or coffee and soda excessively as too much of everything is injurious to health.
The new research findings, published online on May 7 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, showed that drinking more than six eight-ounce cups of coffee or eight-ounce cups of sugar soft drinks a day did not boost the risk of colon cancer.
