Just a Few Drinks May Raise Your Cancer Risk
Even moderate drinking may raise your cancer risk. In a British study of over one million middle-aged women, those who reported drinking an average of one drink a day were more likely to develop cancer. The more alcohol consumed, the higher the risk for breast cancer and cancers of the liver and rectum. The health risks appeared to be the same, whether the women drank wine, beer or spirits. Women who also smoked had higher rates of mouth and throat cancers too. Previous studies have suggested that small amounts of alcohol may have a heart-protective effect. What do the experts think? Opinions vary; most agree that more research needs to be done.
