Studies
have also linked the consumption of alcohol with an increased risk of breast
cancer. The
risk of breast cancer was found to be higher across all levels of alcohol
intake. For every 10 grams of alcohol consumed per day (slightly less than one
drink or 3.5 ounces of wine), researchers observed a seven (7) percent increase
in the risk of breast cancer. The
Million Women Study in the United Kingdom, which included more than 28,000
women with breast cancer, provided a slightly higher estimate of breast-cancer
risk at low to moderate levels of alcohol consumption: every 10 grams of
alcohol consumed per day was associated with a twelve (12) percent increase in
the risk of cancer.
Cancers
fall into the category of chronic diseases and chronic diseases all impact the
brain in some way or another. More tomorrow.
