Drinking Alcohol Linked to Higher Cancer Risk
Alcohol consumption as a major risk factor for cancer among adults aged 30 and older
Study findings highlight the importance of moderate alcohol consumption or abstinence
After age and tobacco use, the third-biggest driver of cancers among people aged 30 and older is alcohol, with roughly 5% of cancers attributable to alcohol consumption.
According to Scott LaFee, a staff member of The San Diego Union, this finding serves as a cautionary tale for individuals who may underestimate the potential health risks associated with alcohol consumption.
While some may find the news reassuring, as it suggests that moderate alcohol consumption may not pose a significant cancer risk, it is crucial to remember that even low levels of alcohol intake can increase the likelihood of developing certain types of cancer.
