Sugary drinks  like fruit juice and fizzy pop  might increase the risk of cancer says French scientists.

Fruit juice, soft drinks, sweetened milkshakes, energy drinks and tea or coffee with sugar comes under sugary drink.

Drinking an 100ml of sugary drinks a day  about two cans a week would increase the risk of developing cancer by 18%. In every 1,000 people in the study, there were 22 cancers. If they all drank an extra 100ml a day, it would result in four more cancers  taking the total to 26 per 1,000 per five years, as per research.
