Daily Drinking Leads to Several Cancers

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Men who drink beer or liquor on a regular basis may face a heightened risk of several different types of cancer, a new study suggests.

Researchers found that among nearly 3,600 Canadian men ages 35 to 70, those who averaged at least a drink per day had higher risks of a number of cancers than men who drank occasionally or not at all -- including cancers of the esophagus, stomach, colon, lungs, pancreas, liver and prostate.

When the researchers looked at individual types of alcohol, though, only beer and "spirits" -- and not wine -- were linked to elevated cancer risks.

In general, the odds increased in tandem with the men's lifetime alcohol intake, according to findings published in the Cancer Prevention and Detection.

With several cancers, men who drank at least once per day tended to have higher risks than those who drank on a regular, but less-than-daily, basis.

When it came to esophageal cancer, for instance, men who drank one to six times per week had an 83 percent higher risk than teetotalers and less-frequent drinkers, while daily drinkers had a three-fold higher risk.

In addition, when the researchers looked only at daily drinkers, the risks generally increased with the number of years the men had been at it.

"Our results show that the heaviest consumers over the lifetime had the biggest increases in the risks of multiple sites of cancer," lead researcher Dr. Andrea Benedetti, of McGill University in Montreal, told Reuters Health in an email.

Many studies have suggested that moderate drinking -- usually defined as no more than a drink or two per day -- can be a healthy habit, particularly when it comes to heart disease risk.

But the current study suggests that even such moderate drinking levels are linked to higher risks of certain cancers, at least when the alcohol of choice is beer or liquor.

Kalitan pud bitaw ko'g basa, kay red-wine drinker man ko. Pero as the quote below indicates, wa man daw risk sa wine. In fact, most health literature say red wine is good for health because it is an antioxidant. Just to cut on your risk, Bay, switch completely to red wine. A glass a day can be guiltless pleasure.

Maghuwat na lang ta sa next study that will negate this one.

I'm sure mag-sponsor sa sunod study ang Budweiser o San Miguel.

[hubag bohol]

Grabe bitaw kaajo ang stranglehold sa popular imagination by big business--and big governments.

[benelynne]

Bay HB,

Bitaw, kinahanglan tukion gyud ning mga consumer research kung wa ba'y nagpaluyo nga dagkong business interest. Kay mahibong man ko nga sigun sa gahimo sa research, usahay ang kape makadaot sa lawas, usahay makapahimsog ug makapa-abtik sa huna-huna. Mao pud ning mga research bahin sa imnunon.

Hinuon naa pud biased readers, kay mamili'g research results nga pabor sa ilang bisyo.

He he, daghan sa ahong mga barkada nga bisyoso na-bull's-eye aning imong observation, Bay Ben.

But seriously, I made it a point long ago to take with a grain of salt every newfangled research.  Kining new discoveries kunohay coupled with a penchant for self-delusion peligro jamo.

Ha ha ha. Cheers!

Total lifestyle man siguro ang importante. Plus the key word, "moderation." If you don't drink and smoke but your diet is high in fat and salt, you're still an I-see-you (at the ICU) candidate.

[fdaray]

Ayaw nag inom kay makadaot sa lawas, maglotto na lang kay basin ug makadaog pa.

[ms da binsi]

I'm sure mag-sponsor sa sunod study ang Budweiser o San Miguel.
