An American study that followed the diet and lifestyles of more than 200,000 women for almost 14 years found that postmenopausal women who
drank one drink per day or less had an almost 30 percent increase in bosom cancer rates compared
to women who did not drink at all.
Alcohol use is the second leading cause of cancer, right behind tobacco use. While a moderate or low consumption of alcohol can be healthy and lead to a reduced risk of heart
disease, excessive drinking is known to cause heart failure, stroke, and sudden death. In 2007, experts working for the World Health Organizations International Agency for Research
on Cancer looked at the scientific evidence regarding cancer and alcohol use from 27 different studies. They found sufficient evidence to state that excessive alcohol use is the main cause of mouth, esophagus, liver, colon, mouth, rectum, and female bosom cancers.
Don’t fret! You can still enjoy that glass of wine with dinner, but, for your health’s sake, no more
than one!
