Throat cancer is a particularly hard cancer to beat--more than 90 percent of patients with invasive esophageal cancer die within five years of diagnosis--and this is just one more reason why you should really avoid drinking soda.

For more reasons you can read my past article on the dangers of soda and find out why I list it as one of the five worst foods you can eat (or drink in this case).

Also, several studies have pointed out the link between sugar and increased rates of cancer. Soda is loaded with sugar, which not only feed cancer but also throw off insulin levels, leading to damaging effects on your health. For these reasons alone, eliminating soda from your diet is an absolute necessity to maintaining optimal health.

Normalizing your insulin levels is one of the most powerful physical actions you can take to improve your health and lower your risk of cancer along with other long-term chronic health conditions such as obesity and diabetes. Fortunately, it is also the variable most easily influenced by healthy eating and exercise.

And if you think you are immune to the damaging effects of soda because you drink diet versions, then you need to read this article to learn the dangers of aspartame and other artificial sweeteners.
