2, One fizzy drink a day raises prostate cancer risk
It’s a proven fact that even a single can of sugary soft drink a day could increase the risk of developing prostate cancer in men. As per the study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, drinking 300ml of a fizzy drink a day can raise a man’s odds of developing the dangerous disease of prostate cancer by 40 percent. It is believed that the reason behind this increased risk is because the sugar in fizzy drinks triggers the release of the hormone called insulin, and this in turn would feed the tumors.
