Soda consumption is high among Latinos, and it’s one of the main causes of diabetes and obesity in the United States.
A new study from Sweden reveals this sugary drink may cause gallbladder cancer, NBC Health reports.
For the study, investigators surveyed more than 70,000 individuals and tracked them for more than 13 years and concluded that those who consume more than two sodas a day “had more than twice the risk of developing gallbladder tumors and 79% higher odds of biliary tract cancer.”
“The current study is the first study to show a strong link between consumption of sweetened beverages, such as soda, and risk of biliary tract cancer,” lead researcher Susanna Larsson told NBC news.
To stay healthy and fit doctors recommend to avoid sodas and all sugary beverages and opt for water instead.
