Breast Cancer Center

It is known that alcohol is a common cause of cancer, although there is limited evidence to try. Recent research seems to have ended with this assumption, and to have become a fact.

Breast cancer is a very common disease in women, and each year takes thousands and thousands of victims. It is the second most important cancer in terms of deaths it causes in women.

Without wishing to go to the field of medicine, it is important to note a fact that the study showed that we speak, referring just to alcohol in relation to breast cancer.

It was found that women taking one to two glasses of alcohol per day, suffer a high risk of breast cancer. The risk rises to 30% more if they take three or more glasses of alcohol per day.

The problem is not the type of drink consumed, but the amount thereof. If you choose to consume wine, beer, rum or whiskey, the results will not change if too much is taken for considerable periods. If consumed regularly in the day to day is very likely to contract cancer.

The sample included 70 000 women who drank alcohol, belonging to various ethnic groups who contributed their beverage consumption data between 1978 and 1985. For 2004, three thousand of them had contracted breast cancer.

These data should be taken into account to reduce the consumption of alcohol. It is true that to get to work tired and depressed and enjoy a glass of wine does not do any harm. But if this is repeated every day, increasing the amount of alcohol consumed, the risk of cancer are high, and this should be taken into account if we care about our health.
