Been drinking at least 60 ounces of soda / day for the last five years. I plan on kicking the habit today — like, I will never, ever drink soda again. But I'm afraid it's too late. My pancreas is probably already destroyed.
I'm 24. What are my odds of living past 40? :frown:

You'll be fine. You are very fit.

I called my mom earlier for reassurance, and she told me not to pay my student loans and to max out my credit cards.
I asked her why.
"Because you won't live a day past 30."

Mom's not thinking straight. She should be advising you to use student loan money to pay off the credit cards. Miles are a transferable asset.

Try one of those detox diet things. Or maybe apply for a new pancreas.

I read that two cans of soda per day can increase your risk of pancreatic cancer by up to 87 percent. Since I drink a little over double that, I figure my chances are probably quite good of getting it. Of course, only 13.2 out of 100,000 men get pancreatic cancer each year, so that's encouraging.
But I hate that I can't "undo what's done."

Start drinking about 2 gallons of water and a glass of 1% milk every day. Never drink soda again, especially not diet. Let us all know how it turns out.

Dude.....just go out on your own terms. If your pancreas is shot, it's not coming back. In your case there's no benefit to quit drinking pop. You will likely end up prolonging your death by a decade or so and live the rest of your days miserable and possibly in pain.
It's just like smokers who keep smoking even after they have lung cancer.

Well some girl on this TLC show drank like 100 cans of soda a day, and she is still alive.

she told me to max out my credit cards.
Donations can be made with a credit card!

75? :crossfingers:

not sure how working out is supposed to help your pancreas recover.
j rake go on a low sodium diet, things will be fine.

You do realize that the 87% increase in risk is based on a lifetime of drinking 2 cans per day, right? Still, I'd say you have about a 20% chance of getting it. Get on the water and milk diet before it's too late!

Link to this pancreatic cancer study? Pretty sure tannoudji has been knocking back diet coke at an alarming rate for longer than most of us have been alive.
-
keep us posted on your not-dying efforts.
At school I refilled a 64oz mug a minimum 3 times each day. What's the going rate on pancreases, would like to buy and install one asap.

The cost of a new pancreas can be pretty steep. How much? One life.

pretty sure pancreas is one of them non-essentials.
-
In my final days (probably a few years from now), I will look back at this thread and feel good knowing that I probably helped save some lives.

the irony of this thread is that we have a "bet on the over/under of j rake's lifespan" thread in the premium section.

RECENT STUDY!
The use of aspirin at least once per month is associated with a significant decrease in pancreatic cancer risk, according to results of a large case-control study presented at the AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011, held here April 2-6.

well nevermind on that then. Do they make robot pancreases? They should by now with the technological advances these days.
^^^^That was just a rhetorical question, don't bother looking robot pancreases up. I'll just stick with eating piles of aspirin, if that doesn't cause brain melting or spleen explosions or something awful.
-
man, that damn aspirin is a wonder drug

"Risk factors include (1) smoking (3x the normal risk), (2) exposure to chemicals (the disease is supposedly more common among both chemists and garage workers), (3) hereditary pancreatitis (huge risk), and (4) some of the anti-oncogene deletion syndromes. (5) Obesity is also supposed to be an independent risk factor that somehow promotes the growth (Surgery 146: 258, 2009)." -pathguy
Pretty sure soda won't hurt ur pancreas.

As far as I can tell, there is no drug you can take to reduce your risk. It is more about avoiding the risk factors (if possible). Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (the most common type of pancreatic cancer) is resistant to current chemotherapies.

You are more than likely a fatass if you drink that much soda per day so you will probably die of something more related to being a fatass before your pancreas craps out. Although your pancreas crapping out could be related to being a soda drinking fatass, but I don't know, not a dr. :dunno:

christ, don't worry. my dad has gone through about 1.5 cases/cubes a week for the last....15 years roughly. Some weeks less others worse.

I think it might have more to do with the fact that I run about 5 miles per day and don't eat fast food.
Also, I don't give my body nutrients. I eat candy all day.

Which is more rare, stomach cancer or pancreatic cancer? I'd Google it, but there is way too much misinformation out there.
