The Anti-Fake News Center has debunked false information spread across online media claiming that drinking soft drinks increases the risk of cancer. According to the Food and Drug Administration and Ministry of Public Health, there is no evidence to support the claim that consuming soft drinks can lead to various types of cancer.

The circulated message suggested that drinking soft drinks could elevate the risk of uterine cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer. However, after thorough investigation, health authorities have clarified that there is no scientific research to validate this statement.

While soft drinks are known to contain sugar and excessive consumption can lead to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, and tooth decay, there is no direct link between soft drink consumption and cancer. Cancer is caused by a multitude of factors, such as genetic predisposition, smoking, alcohol, exposure to certain chemicals, viral infections, bacterial infections, and lifestyle choices.

Therefore, the public is urged not to believe and to refrain from spreading such misleading information on social media platforms. For accurate health information, individuals are encouraged to visit the official website of the Food and Drug Administration and Ministry of Public Health (www.fda.moph.go.th) or report suspicious products at the hotline 1556.

In conclusion, the claim that soft drink consumption leads to an increased risk of cancer is unfounded and should not be propagated as truth.]
