00:00How often women eat sugary foods may be linked to breast cancer risk.
00:04Researchers at Seoul National University followed more than 71,000 Korean women.
00:09They tracked them for an average of 9.2 years.
00:12During that time, 713 women were diagnosed with breast cancer.
00:17Women who ate high-sugar foods more than twice a week had a 28% higher risk.
00:22That's compared with women who ate them once a month or less.
00:25Eating ice cream at least weekly was linked to a 26% higher risk.
00:30Sugary cereal was linked to a 34% higher risk, though few women ate it.
00:35But here's the twist.
00:36Total sugar intake showed no significant link.
00:39Neither did fruit, which supplied about 43% of all dietary sugar.
00:44That suggests the source of sugar may matter.
00:47The study appears in the European Journal of Nutrition.
00:50It's observational, so it shows an association, not proof.
