Does Sugary Pop Double Pancreatic Cancer Risk?

At HFA we believe there are a lot reasons to avoid soda. High Fructose Corn Syrup comes to mind. But now there is a new reason to it. A new study shows there could be a link between soda and pancreatic cancer.Enjoying a sugary soft drink just twice a week could almost double the risk of pancreatic cancer, according to a new study.

fizzy-drinksResearchers tracked 60,500 people taking part in a large-scale health study in Singapore. Over 14 years, 140 of them were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which is one of the most deadly forms of the disease.

The scientists found that people who drank two or more soft drinks per week had an 87% increased risk compared to those who did not.

Study leader Dr Mark Pereira, from the University of Minnesota, said: “The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin in the body, which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth.

“Singapore is a wealthy country with excellent healthcare. Favourite pastimes are eating and shopping, so the findings should apply to other Western countries.”

Pancreatic cancer is relatively rare, affecting around 7,600 people each year in the UK.

But only 2% to 3% of patients survive as long as five years.

Cancer Research UK said that evidence on the link between soft drinks and cancer is inconsistent.

Spokeswoman Jessica Harris said: “Although this study included a lot of people, very few of them developed pancreatic cancer so it is difficult to know if soft drinks do increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, or whether the results are just down to chance.

“Also, people who drank lots of fizzy drinks in this study were more likely to be unhealthy in other ways, like smoking, eating more calories, and being less active, so it is difficult to separate the effects of all of these things.”

The findings have been published in the journal Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevent.

  • Cancer was a big issue with Dr. Royal Rife. In 1933, he proved cancer could be grown from a grape size to an orange size in 3 months by making the host extremely acid and Depriving O2.He then shrunk it down & kill it in 3 months by alkalizing and oxygenating the host. The fastest agent to alkalize is MMS and/or Cesium. MMS destroys the bonds of anything acid, w/o harming the host and at same time helps to alkalyse by the removal of Acid. MMS is a magnificent detoxer but is not meant to be nutritional. Cesium takes the pH to 7.5-8.0 where cancer cannot survive. Check out my webportal for more products highly nutritional and alkaline with high amounts of Ascorbate. You don’t need a lot of pills (Pharmaceutical or Alternative). Five products at most (even with the most dreadful health)supports the 3 elements of optimal health which are: The Collegan Matrix, the Acid/Alkalinity ratio, and the Insulin/Growth Hormone Ratio. Too much insulin in the Omentum (belly fat) up in the yrs and not making enough of the esential hormones. Listen to Barney Folger on the home page. He is a superb SCIENCE Researcher.

  • I should tell you after reading my comment, that I really did not make it clear that the five products I was talking about included the MMS as the major detoxer. I brush my teeth, suck it up my nostrils and swallow it to cleaan the dark moist cavity where a host of microbes live. I use it as my deoderant. After all the oder comes from the bacteria that live and die under your arms. Anyplace that is warm, moist, and dark is a great place for MMS. Mix the number of drops, add the appropriate amount of Citric Acid, wait 3 minutes, dilute with 1 – 2 ounces of distilled water (absolutely pure water)and apply with cotton swab or pad (do not re-use or as I say “No double dipping!) Any excess left over can be used to pour over feet for fungus on toenails or feet. This fungus is yeasst or Candida Albicans. If you have pain in the joints, take the initial mixture from above with out adding the water; instead, add DMSO. Check it out on the web, or go to your local farm supply and ask for it. It is regularly used for animals with pain from tendonitis and other things. Generally known as Horse Linement. The DMSO will drive the MMS into the deeper tissue and with each of them doing their job, it will relieve you of pain. Do the same for internal and external Cancers. There is a world out there that some of you have been trained not to even consider. Why? The Pharmaceutical Companies have already lost over 50% of their income to natural practioners like me and hundreds of thousands of people like you that have an open mind and smart enouch to know when symptoms are being covered up while side affects of that medicine (silver bullets, I call them)are now creating more problems that with the ripple affect will sooner or later kill you. Of course after your sad passing, your loved ones are told for the most part that you should have come sooner. They would have had more time to practice on you. Have a great day and may God’s Light shine on your darkest hours. Dr. S. Fletcher

  • R Cotterman says:

    If high fructose corn syrup is the issue, it is in so many foods, it is ridiculous. Does this apply to all of the other foods which are manufactured with this as an ingredient?
