How much does drinking affect the body? Recently, an article in the American magazine Addiction pointed out that drinking will increase the risk of multiple diseases cancer Risk.
In the new study, Dr. Jeanne Connor, a professor of the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine at the Medical School of Otago University in New Zealand, and her research team analyzed the research of the World Cancer Research Foundation, the American Cancer Institute, the International Cancer Research Institute, and the Global Burden of Disease Alcohol Research Project in the past 10 years, A meta-analysis of the relationship between alcohol intake and cancer risk of body parts was conducted. It is found that drinking alcohol will increase oral cancer and throat Laryngeal carcinoma 、 esophageal cancer , liver cancer, colon cancer rectal cancer and mammary cancer The risk of these seven cancers. The more alcohol you drink, the greater the risk of cancer death. People who drink more than 5 cups a day will have a 40% increased risk of cancer death. Even a small amount of alcohol will also increase the risk of cancer.
Professor Connor said that more and more evidence showed that drinking not only increased the above cancer risk, but also increased Skin cancer 、 prostatic cancer and pancreatic cancer The risk of three kinds of cancer. Moreover, moderate drinking is not as protective to cardiovascular system as claimed. The specific mechanism of alcohol causing cancer is not completely clear at present. However, a compound decomposed after drinking alcohol is directly related to oral cancer, throat cancer, esophageal cancer and liver cancer. One of the key reasons why drinking alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer is that alcohol will increase estrogen levels in women.
