From a patient pregnant with her first child, after coming in for a few treatments to induce labor:

“As for labor and delivery, I suppose it was pretty quick as far as they go… I went for a walk on the trails at Bille Park and had a few contractions throughout the afternoon and evening. Regular contractions started around 9 Monday night and when I finally went to the hospital at 1:30am they were 3 minutes apart and I was dilated to 7. The midwife broke my bag of water around 7:30, pushing started around 8:30, and she was out at 9:50! No medication, nothing extra to get her out, and just a few stitches. You definitely got her moving and even quicker than I expected!”

Research: Consuming Sodas Increases Risk of Endometrial Cancer

This research shows that post-menopausal women who consume sodas and other sugary ‘foods’ are at an increased risk of one type of endometrial cancer, an estrogen-dependent one. As this researcher says, “Increased levels of estrogens and insulin are established risk factors for endometrial cancer.”

Sugary Drinks Raise Endometrial Cancer Risk

It is worth noting that this research didn’t find any correlation between the consumption of ‘sugar-free’ sodas or foods with the risk of endometrial cancer. However, keep in mind that the consumption of the ‘sugar substitutes’ such as aspartamine, saccharin, sucralose, sorbitol, etc. all have other potential detrimental health effects of their own! (I.e., I highly recommend not consuming these ‘sugars’ as well – I generally recommend to use only natural sugars such as honey, stevia, coconut sugar, maple syrup, raw cane sugar, xylitol, etc.!)
