Moderate Drinking Boosts Cancer Risk for Women

Moderate Drinking Boosts Cancer Risk for Women

A glass of wine a day keeps the troubles of the heart away. Or at least that’s what they say, those who enjoy a good moment spent with themselves, over a liquorish glass of wine. The Bacchic habit is known to be generally beneficial for our health, as it keeps those blood vessels moving and our hearts racing at good paces.

But according to a new piece of research, even light and moderate drinking, translated into one drink for women and two drinks daily for men, is associated with increased risk of alcohol related cancers in women and male smokers.

In women’s case, light to moderate drinking is linked with increased risk of breast cancer, even in women who don’t relate to smoking habits. Overall, light to moderate drinking is linked with minimally increased risk of cancer in both men and women.

Previous studies have already shown that heavy alcohol consumption is generally linked to increased risks to develop several types of cancer, no matter if individuals are smokers or non-smokers.

When it comes to light and moderate drinking, results point out to something, but it is not quite clear that the association is relevant. Further analysis must be performed in order to gain a realistic conclusion over the statements.

Researchers have used data from two extensive US studies that tracked the health levels of almost 89.000 women and 48.000 men, for up to 30 years. A follow up period revealed that 19.269 cancers were diagnosed in women, while 7.571 cancer cases were diagnosed in male cases.

The findings are quite peculiar, because they subtly highlight the fact that no type of drinking whatsoever, whether heavy or moderate, could bring a certain benefit to us, other than the sweet tipsiness we indulge in, once in a while. Furthermore, the recent study contradicts other highlights, which state that wine mingles with our blood cells, making them more efficient and offering a health boost.

However, expert declare  that their present conclusions reinforce the health message that people should limit their drinking habits and have some alcohol free periods. There hasn’t been established a guaranteed safe level of drinking but if one drinks within the recommended daily limits, the risks to harm one’s health are extremely low.

It is important to keep in mind that moderate drinking boosts cancer risk for women mainly. Ladies, stay away from that daily dose of pleasure and don’t forget about those regular visits to your family doctor.
