Know what else increases your risk of death?
The passage of TIME.
In all seriousness, I do avoid sugary drinks; only to maintain my weight, though.
I consume artificially sweetened beverages instead, which I believe are to linked to colorectal and bladder cancer.
You just can't win for losing, really...unless you drink nothing but water and spit, I guess.
Btw, if someone posts an article concerning a possible link between consuming plain water and various cancers, I'm going to scream.
