If I get cancer from drinking energy drinks and sitting at computer, I'm sure to file bug report to the God.
I don't think ED's give cancer. Cancer comes from things that kill you and is a thing that speeds the process up a bit.

You should worry more about your toothpaste and even shampoo. In most products you'll find Sodium Laureth Sulfate / Sodium Lauryl Sulfate which is responsible for the foaming and is probably causing cancer (you'll find some yes and no discussions about this - it's safe to say that it's not healthy though). No one seems to care though to put stuff that is toxic and mostly used for the foam in some heavy duty cleaners in their mouth and literally eating it...
A study analysing cancer risk and toothpaste etc. usage probably would be extremely interesting...

actually, in almost everything you do there is the risk of getting cancer, even just being alive. A DNA "offspring" can be caused by random events, maybe even some special spectrum solar ray that made it through the earth's atmosphere, hit your arm and causes cancer.
Is it possible to get cancer from eating fried food and energy drinks? Yes. Is it probably or likely? No.
Most times it's just some scientist who wants to get some attention by publishing studies that "Daily-use Object X" can cause cancer "Type Y" because of miniminiminiminiscule traces of substance Z.
