00:00that daily soda habit might be doing more damage than you think.
00:03A decades-long study from Mass General Brigham
00:05found that drinking at least one sugar-sweetened beverage every day
00:09was linked to a 2.45 times higher risk of developing stomach cancer
00:14compared to people who almost never drink them.
00:16Researchers analyzed data from more than 100,000 people
00:20in two long-running health studies,
00:22tracking their diets alongside cancer outcomes for years.
00:26Interestingly, artificially sweetened diet drinks
00:28showed no similar link to stomach cancer risk at all.
00:31That's a significant finding, since about 63% of American adults
00:36report drinking at least one sugary beverage daily.
00:39According to CDC data, senior author Dr. Andrew Chan
00:43says this is the first study to demonstrate this connection in a U.S. population,
00:48though scientists still don't know exactly why sugar might be driving the risk.
00:52And more research is needed to confirm the mechanism.
