Sodas, sweetened tea, and lemonade—among other foods that have a high glycemic index—increase the risk of endometrial cancer. “When you eat those foods, it causes a spike in blood sugar and insulin. Having continually high amounts of insulin can help create an environment that is conducive to endometrial cancer cells proliferating,” says Bender. In addition, sugary drinks promote obesity, which increases the risk for colorectal, postmenopausal breast, esophogeal, endometrial, kidney, pancreatic, gallbladder, and ovarian cancers.
Bender recommends making these drinks a “once in a while kind of food.” Keep serving sizes small. Cut back on sugar in your tea and lemonade. Use diet sodas to transition to no-sugar-drinks, not as a replacement.
