숫자로 보기
Researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital Brigham Cancer Center in the US found that people who consume at least one glass of sugary drink per day have a 2.45 times higher risk of stomach cancer compared to those who consume less than one glass per month. The study highlights the decisive role of dietary habits, beyond the usually blamed Helicobacter pylori bacteria, in stomach cancer. Experts say these findings contain important warnings for public health.
The research quantified the link between sugary drink consumption and stomach cancer by analyzing long-term follow-up data. Results show that daily consumption significantly increases the risk, and even regular consumption in small amounts may pose a risk. Health authorities may develop stronger recommendations on limiting sugary drink consumption.
These findings prove that stomach cancer prevention strategies must cover the regulation of dietary habits alongside bacterial infection control. Increasing public awareness and policymakers evaluating measures such as sugary drink taxation are recommended.
