Writing in the journal Cancer Epidemiology，Biomarkers & Prevention，Pereira and his colleagues said they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for 14 years.

　　Over that time,140 of the volunteers developed pancreatic cancer.Those who drank two or more sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got pancreatic cancer.

　　Pereira said he believed the findings would apply elsewhere.

　　“Singapore is a wealthy country with excellent healthcare.Favorite pastimes(消遣)are eating and shopping，so the findings should apply to other Western countries，”he said.

　　But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious.

　　“Although this study found a risk，the finding was based on a relatively small number of cases and it remains unclear whether it is a causal(因果的)connection or not，”said Mayne，who serves on the board of the journal，which is published by the American Association for Cancer Research.

　　Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer，with 230,000 cases globally.In the United States,37,680 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a year and 34,290 die of it.

　　5．According to the text，who is in control of the health study?

　　A．Mark Pereira.

　　B．Scientists from Singapore.
