Abstract
Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. Drinking two or more soft drinks a week may increase your risk of developing pancreatic cancer. That’s according to research by Mark Pereira, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Minnesota. <Clip: “We were interested in studying sugar-sweetened beverages…who were consuming little or no sugar-sweetened beverages.”> Pereira says that pancreatic cancer is rare but deadly. Only about 5 percent of people who are diagnosed with it survive five years or more. <Clip: “Through their effects on the hormone insulin…rare but deadly cancer.”> With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
