Sugar in fruit juice may raise risk of cancer, study finds

Sugar may raise the risk of cancer. And obesity.

Drinking large amounts of fruit juice may raise your risk of cancer, according to a big study which has found a link between the regular consumption of all kinds of sugary drinks and the likelihood of developing the disease.

The study, carried out in France, is the first substantial piece of research to find a specific association between sugar and cancer. Sugary drinks such as colas, lemonade and energy drinks have been linked to obesity, which is a cause of cancer, but the French researchers suggest there could also be other reasons sugar could trigger it.


The study, published in the BMJ, finds the association with cancer is just as strong with fruit juices as it is with colas. “When the group of sugary drinks was split into 100% fruit juices and other sugary drinks, the consumption of both beverage types was associated with a higher risk of overall cancer,” it says.

Eat the fruit. You still get the juice plus fiber.

Just don't eat too much. And watch your other sugar intake. I do like that we are seeing added sugar on some food labels.

IMO, Mountain Dew is the worst thing you could ever possibly drink.

Do refined carbohydrates cause inflammation?

As the above link suggests, they should have included ALL refined carbohydrates. They cause inflammation and can lead to a whole host of diseases in addition to cancer.
Then if a person has a high percentage of body fat, that causes even more inflammation and a higher risk for Alzheimer's dementia later in life.

Because the fiber is removed, I would call fruit juice a refined carbohydrate.
