Sugary Drinks and Juice cause cancer...
This has been all over the news-interesting that they're now admitting that 100% 'healthy' juice has the same effects as regular soda, and also that artificially sweetened diet beverages did not have a negative impact (I'm drinking splenda sweetened coffee as I type this ) It's an observational study so pretty weak, but it's a start and hopefully will cause more people to look deeper into sugar ie carb intake.

Results The consumption of sugary drinks was significantly associated with the risk of overall cancer (n=2193 cases, subdistribution hazard ratio for a 100mL/d increase 1.18, 95% confidence interval 1.10 to 1.27, P<0.0001) and breast cancer (693, 1.22, 1.07 to 1.39, P=0.004). The consumption of artificially sweetened beverages was not associated with the risk of cancer. In specific subanalyses, the consumption of 100% fruit juice was significantly associated with the risk of overall cancer (2193, 1.12, 1.03 to 1.23, P=0.007).
Conclusions In this large prospective study, the consumption of sugary drinks was positively associated with the risk of overall cancer and breast cancer. 100% fruit juices were also positively associated with the risk of overall cancer. These results need replication in other large scale prospective studies. They suggest that sugary drinks, which are widely consumed in Western countries, might represent a modifiable risk factor for cancer prevention.
eta: just realized another thread has already been started for this, oops!
