How a woman can determine how much is safe for her to drink each day(23).jpg)
Determining whether to drink and how much should take into account your smoking history, family history of alcohol-related cancers and your risk of
heart disease, Cao said.
Besides
breast cancer, alcohol-related cancers include colon, liver, oral, throat and oesophagus
cancer.
Women should weigh the modest increased risk of alcohol-related cancers, primarily
breast cancer, against the potential benefits of alcohol in preventing
heart disease, Cao suggested. (The American Heart Association says heart disease is less common among people who drink lightly or moderately than among teetotallers. However, alcohol consumption is associated to other health dangers such as
high blood pressure).
What the study found out about light drinking and cancer risk in women
For the report, published online earlier this week in the BMJ, Cao’s team used data from two studies of health professionals in the United States: the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study.

The real key to healing cancer is to wipe out the stealth disease lurking behind it...
I admit I was downright shocked when I found out that
cancer isn't actually what kills most cancer patients! And I've been a doctor for well over 20 years - so not much surprises me anymore.
Even more astounding - this monumental discovery goes back to the 1970s when former US Air Force Dr Joseph Gold uncovered the REAL killer, a condition that no one in the medical field was even talking about!
That's right - the real culprit behind 3 out of every 4 cancer deaths isn't cancer at all. No! It's a syndrome you've probably never even heard of - called cachexia (pronounced "ka-kek-see-ah").
**********************************
During up to 30 years of follow-up, more than 19,000 women and nearly 7,600 men developed cancers, according to the report.
The researchers found that light to moderate drinking was not associated with a statistically significant increased risk for cancers overall.
And among men who had never smoked, risk of alcohol-related cancers didn’t increase significantly. However, the risk rose for men who had smoked, the researchers found.
In contrast, even women who had never smoked had an increased risk of alcohol-related cancers — mainly breast cancer — with one drink a day.
Drink less alcohol and protect yourself against cancer
One drink (14 g of alcohol) is the equivalent of about a 120 ml glass of wine or a 450 ml bottle of beer in the United States, the researchers said.
To isolate the effect of alcohol, Cao and colleagues accounted for other factors, including age, ethnicity, weight, family history of cancer, physical activity and diet.
“Alcohol can cause cancer, even at levels of light to moderate drinking. The present study reinforces this statement,” Rehm said.
Drinking causes almost 4% of all cancers worldwide and a similar proportion of cancer deaths in the United States, the researchers wrote in background notes.
If you want to reduce your risk for cancer, curb your drinking, advised Rehm, who wrote an accompanying journal editorial.
“Less drinking is better,” he said. “Limit your consumption of alcohol.”
