　　Washington (Reuters)—People who drink two or more sweetened soft drinks a week have a much higher risk of pancreatic cancer (胰腺癌)，an unusual but deadly cancer，researchers reported on Monday.

　　People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have

　　the same risk，the study of 60,000 people in Singapore found.

　　Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other poor health habits，said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota，who led the study.

　　“The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level

　　of insulin (胰岛素) in the body，which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth，” Pereira said in a statement.

　　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.
