2026/08/26

New research reveals that daily sugary fizzy drinks could more than double your stomach cancer risk—especially for women, whose risk triples. The study tracked over 100,000 people and found the danger tied specifically to daily consumption, not occasional sips. Fructose may be a culprit, but scientists can’t pinpoint the exact cause yet—possibly through weight gain, insulin resistance, or gut bacteria disruption. Artificially sweetened drinks didn’t show the same link. While this is
