Some drinks have been found to be carcinogenic. That's, they are able to cause abnormal growth of cells to an uncontrollable rate.

 Ian Johnson, a nutrition researcher and emeritus fellow, Quadram Institute Bioscience, cites soft drinks are the causing agents of cancers. Drinking them more often is a bad idea since it is risky. 

 "The results indicate statistically significant correlations between the consumption of sugary sweetened drinks and risk of all cancers combined, and of breast cancer," notes Ian Johnson. 

He further added, "Surprisingly perhaps, the increased risk of cancer in heavier consumers of sugary drinks was observed even among consumers of pure fruit juice -- this warrants more research."

 Another researcher by the name Mathilde Touvier, elucidated that the sugary components in drinks are believed to extremely promote the growth of tumours.

"What we observed was that the main driver of the association seems to be really the sugar contained in these sugary drinks," says Touvier, the research director of the Nutritional Epidemiology Research Team of the National Health and Medical Research Institute at the Paris 13 University.

"High sugary drinks consumption is a risk factor for obesity and weight gain," she said, and, "obesity is in itself a risk factor for cancer."
