      Please exclude diet coke, please exclude diet coke, please exclude diet coke.

      > new research out of the University of Washington found that women who drink at least one full-sugar soft drink per day appear to be about five times more likely to get oral cavity cancer (OCC) than their counterparts who avoid such beverages.

      > Typically thought of as a cancer primarily affecting older men who smoke and drink, instances of OCC have, as UPI notes, been rising steadily among women — including those who don’t smoke or drink, or do so sparingly. The five-year survival rate for OCC, which causes painful sores on either the lips or the gums and can spread down the throat if left untreated, is only 64.3 percent.

      > Crunching the numbers, the researchers found that people who drink at least one sugary soda beverage per day were at 4.87 times greater risk of developingOCC than their counterparts who had less than one such drink per month.

      > For those who don’t smoke or drink – or do so lightly – the numbers were even more stark: those who consumed one or more sugary soda per day were 5.46 times more likely to develop OCC than people who drink less than one per month.

      > In a new paper published in the journal JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, the University of Washington researchers looked at long-term healthcare data for more than 162,000 healthcare workers from the Nurses’ Health Study and identified 124 cases of OCC among them.

      That’s an 0.08% chance, to put things in perspective.

      Yeah but also the group of people who regularly over-consume soda are also the same group of people who probably live sedentary, unhealthy lifestyles all around. Is it *solely* the soda, or a combination of all the amounts of unhealthy decisions they’ve made to get there? Also, the healthiest people in the world get cancer too, this seems to just be a tough thing to definitively say.

      Correlation /= causation.

      This is only indication of sugary drinks. So no mention of diet and sugar free drinks.

      Also an important part at the end

      „Rather than implying that the sugar from sodas themselves is causing people to get OCC, the researchers hypothesize that „diets with higher added sugar may contribute to chronic inflammation.“ Previous studies have connected [excessive consumption of sugary drinks](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41405-024-00265-w) with gum disease — which, in turn, has been [linked to oral cancer](https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/newsroom/news-releases/2018/01/more-evidence-of-link-between-severe-gum-disease-and-cancer-risk).“

      Dont go for red cola

      If you must… Diet/Zero coke

      Or just carbonated water

      Red cola – that syrup is poison to the body. Rots the teeth.

      Water with sugar added into it is quite possibly the least healthy thing a human can consume.

      … so that’s why my mother has been telling me lately not to drink soda. I was wondering why she was stressing out my soda consumption when I don’t drink a ton of it. I have had cancer though.

      I gave up soda about 5 years ago. You can too. I drink diluted lemon juice now.

      I used to work for a married couple. She only ever drank coke zero. Never water or anything else unless she was getting drunk off ciders or mixed drinks. Her family is already at super high risk for cancer. We tried telling her that she would feel better overall if she drank more water and less soda. Last I knew she was still drinking 5-7 cans a day during work…

      They’re (she and her husband) both terrible people who deserve anything bad that comes their way.

      Remember people, this is a correlation. Think creatively about what kind of person never ever drinks a carbonated sugar-sweetened beverage, or more importantly claims that they never do. I don’t even like soda and I probably drink one once a month.

      And the 0.08% risk might be offset by some other increased risk of a different cancer because of whatever odd or atypical behavior leads to complete avoidance of sugary drinks. The studies on alcohol consumption have famously shown a slight positive benefit to drinking alcohol. However the consensus is that it’s not because the alcohol is actually good for you but the people who avoid alcohol completely have a few screws loose lol or something else negative.

      Hmm, would this go for other sources of sugar as well? I’ve been eating a lot of chocolate lately…
