Drinking soda linked to pancreatic cancer: Study - Edmonton Journal
Drinking two or more soft drinks a week may nearly double a person's risk of developing pancreatic cancer, researchers are warning.
The new study, by researchers from the University of Minnesota, was based on more than 60,000 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study who were followed for 14 years. During that time, 140 people developed invasive pancreatic cancer. At the start of the study, as part of a food frequency questionnaire, people were asked to report how often they drank one glass of pop. A glass was considered 237 millilitres, or about the equivalent of one cup.
Those who reported drinking two or more soft drinks per week had an 87 per cent increased risk of pancreatic cancer compared to those who didn't drink soft drinks. The pop drinkers were averaging five drinks per week.

Interesting
My only nit picky thing is that the test group was averaging 5 drinks of pop a week, while the article title is more than 2. That makes a big difference in the results
