The link was suggested by a study, published in the British Medical Journal, that followed more than 100,000 people for five years. The team at Université Sorbonne Paris Cité speculatethat the impact of blood sugar levels may be to blame. However, the research is far from definitive proof and experts have called for more research.

以上研究结果发布在《英国医学杂志》(British Medical Journal)的一份研究报告中，该研究对10万多人进行了为期五年的跟踪调查。巴黎索邦大学的研究小组推测，含糖饮料会对血糖水平产生影响，这可能会增加癌症风险。但是，目前还没有充分的数据可以证实这项推测，专家需要开展更多的研究来确认结果。

The team at Université Sorbonne Paris Cité say more large scale studies are needed to corroborate the findings. They say their research is further evidence that taxing sugary drinks is a good idea. "These data support the relevance of existing nutritional recommendations to limit sugary drink consumption, including 100% fruit juice, as well as policy actions, such as taxation and marketing restrictions targeting sugary drinks," their report says. The UK introduced a sugar tax in 2018, with manufacturers having to pay a levy on high-sugar drinks they produce.

巴黎索邦大学的研究小组表示，需要开展更多的研究来证实这些发现。研究小组说，此项研究进一步证实了对含糖饮料进行征税的正确性。报告提到，研究数据呼应了现有的限制含糖饮料消费的营养建议，以及对含糖饮料进行征税和营销限制等政策。英国在2018年开始征收糖税，意味着饮料制造商需要为他们生产的高含糖饮料付税。

The British Soft Drinks Association said the study "does not provide evidence of cause, as the authors readily admit”. Its director general, Gavin Partington, added: "Soft drinks are safe to consume as part of a balanced diet."The soft drinks industry recognises it has a role to play in helping to tackle obesity, which is why we have led the way in calorie and sugar reduction."

英国软饮料协会(British Soft Drinks Association)表示，该研究“就像其研究小组所说的一样，目前并没有明确的数据可以证明含糖饮料会增加癌症风险。”协会总干事加文·帕丁顿补充说:“作为均衡饮食中的一部分，软饮料并不会增加癌症风险。”软饮料行业表示，“软饮料可以帮助解决肥胖问题，这是我们之所以能在减少卡路里和糖分方面遥遥领先的原因。”
