Study says diet soda can lower the risk of colon cancer recurrence and cancer death

A new study suggests that drinking artificially sweetened beverages like diet soda is associated with a remarkably lower risk of colon cancer recurrence and cancer death, a study claims. Charles S Fuchs explained, “Artificially sweetened drinks have a checkered reputation in the public because of purported health risks that have never really been documented.”


Charles S Fuchs further said, “Our study clearly shows they help avoid cancer recurrence and death in patients who have been treated for advanced colon cancer, and that is an exciting finding.”


Charles S Fuchs added, “Factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, a diet linked to diabetes all of which lead to an excess energy balance are known risk factors. We now find that, in terms of colon cancer recurrence and survival, use of artificially sweetened drinks is not a health risk, but is, in this study, a healthier choice.”


Charles S Fuchs concluded by saying, “While the association between lower colon cancer recurrence and death was somewhat stronger than we suspected, the finding fits in with all that we know about colon cancer risk in general.”
