Băuturile cu zahăr, asociate cu un risc mai mare de cancer gastric. Ce arată un studiu de 30 de ani • Newsweek România

A recent study spanning over 30 years found that daily consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is linked to a 2.45 times higher risk of gastric cancer among over 112,000 Americans. However, researchers caution that this does not imply a direct causal relationship. The study, published in Gastro Hep Advances, highlights the need for further research to understand the observed association fully. While the findings indicate a significant correlation, factors like Helicobacter pylori infection and other health histories were not fully controlled. The exact biological mechanisms behind this association remain unclear, with various hypotheses proposed but not confirmed.
