"cola, fanta, bier - balla balla hier (auf die stirn zeigend)" - kennt ihr diesen spruch auch noch aus eurer grundschulzeit?

 

nun, da ist wohl was wahres dran - die wissenschaft beweist´s:

Zwei Gläser am Tag sind zuviel
Softdrinks erhöhen Krebsrisiko

09.02.2010 - Der regelmäßige Konsum zuckerhaltiger Erfrischungsgetränke erhöht einer Studie zufolge das Krebsrisiko. Menschen, die pro Tag mindestens zwei süße Softdrinks konsumierten, erkrankten deutlich häufiger an Bauchspeicheldrüsen-Krebs als andere, heißt es in einer im Fachmagazin "Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention" veröffentlichten Studie.
 
Kein derartiger Zusammenhang sei für Konsumenten von Fruchtsäften gefunden worden. Die Befunde beruhen auf einer Langzeituntersuchung von mehr als 60.000 Menschen in Singapur, die über 14 Jahren hinweg immer wieder untersucht und zu ihren Lebensgewohnheiten befragt wurden.

Abstract

Background:

Sugar-sweetened carbonated beverages (called soft drinks) and juices, which have a high glycemic load relative to other foods and beverages, have been hypothesized as pancreatic cancer risk factors. However, data thus far are scarce, especially from non-European descent populations. We investigated whether higher consumption of soft drinks and juice increases the risk of pancreatic cancer in Chinese men and women.

 

Methods:

A prospective cohort analysis was done to examine the association between soft drink and juice consumption and the risk of pancreatic cancer in 60,524 participants of the Singapore Chinese Health Study with up to 14 years of follow-up. Information on consumption of soft drinks, juice, and other dietary items, as well as lifestyle and environmental exposures, was collected through in-person interviews at recruitment. Pancreatic cancer cases and deaths were ascertained by record linkage of the cohort database with records of population-based Singapore Cancer Registry and the Singapore Registry of Births and Deaths.

 

Results:

The first 14 years for the cohort resulted in cumulative 648,387 person-years and 140 incident pancreatic cancer cases. Individuals consuming ≥2 soft drinks/wk experienced a statistically significant increased risk of pancreatic cancer (hazard ratio, 1.87; 95% confidence interval, 1.10-3.15) compared with individuals who did not consume soft drinks after adjustment for potential confounders. There was no statistically significant association between juice consumption and risk of pancreatic cancer.

 

Conclusion:

Regular consumption of soft drinks may play an independent role in the development of pancreatic cancer. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 19(2); 447–55
