Other chemical compounds, such as additives in some sodas might also play a role to cancer risks.</p>\n<p>So a better policy level guidance and recommendation is needed to limit sugary drink consumption, including 100% fruit juice, as well as policy actions, such as taxation and marketing restrictions targeting sugary drinks, which might potentially contribute to the reduction of cancer incidence.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><br></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3ae9b3sf","appParentAuthor":"divine-sound","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
