I don't think it's only diabetes. Long term effect could be cancerous if a youngster takes one cup a day.

Bubble tea is considered as an enjoyable Asian drink, with its tapioca pearls and wide range of flavors. Most young individuals would grab a glass of bubble tea and chew on these sticky, sweet tapioca pearls using a wide-diameter straw. The tapioca pearls in bubble tea are prepared from the cassava crop, which is a common plant in both Asia and South America. Cassava has been widely used in making gels, candies, pudding, and other similar food items.

Avoid Cancer by Avoiding This?

According to a recent medical report, this sparkly bubble tea may not be as enjoyable as originally conceived because it has been linked to an increased cancer risk.

The association of tapioca and cancer stems from a recent medical report published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, which discusses the relationship between levels of organochlorines in the activity of cancer cells. The study showed that a higher level of organochlorines in the body is associated with a higher cancer risk, especially for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Organochlorines are organic compounds that are generally used as a solvent in the production of various products such as chemicals and food items.

Unfortunately, the tapioca pearls in the famous bubble tea also contain organochlorines and when present at high concentrations, may increase cancer risk. The organochlorine molecules may enter cancer cells and trigger these to further proliferate, increasing cancer risk. It may be also possible that the mass production of tapioca pearls for a bigger consuming public has pushed manufacturers to use organochlorines in their production, unaware that this may not be helpful to avoid cancer.
