I've been drinking a lot of soda for years, what are my chances of developing pancreatic cancer and when might it happen?

Dr. Clarence Grim answered

Specializes in Endocrinology

Soda Pancreatic Ca: I would say virtually none. I know of no data that suggests that soda increases risk of pancreatic cancer. More likely to kill you thru getting diabetes and too fat. I have had patients who drank 13 quarts of soda a day. so not certain what you mean a lot?
