Girls who frequently drink fizzy sugary drinks are putting themselves at risk of breast cancer, research warned.
Drinking just one-and-a-half cans a day causes early puberty and that increases their cancer risk.
For each year they mature earlier, it is estimated breast cancer risk increases by five per cent.
The Harvard Medical School study of 5,583 girls aged nine to 14 found those who drank more than 1.5 servings of sugary drinks a day had their first period 2.7 months earlier than those who drank two or fewer drinks a week.
