More Evidence Links Alcohol To Some Cancers In Women

USA Today reported a new study that links any amount of alcohol to an increased chance of a variety cancers in women regardless if it was one or more drinks per day. University of Oxford researchers reported Tuesday in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute that breast, rectal and liver cancer were at an increase risk with each extra drink per day, and if combined with tobacco use, there was a greater risk of esophageal and oral cancers.

The study is quite loose; it does not take into account lifestyle and environmental concerns of these women or their diets and stress management. All of these are contributing factors to cancer. Could it be that if there is already a deficient diet, lifestyle and stress management concerns, that one would be more prone to illness and disease?

Conventional alcohol, regardless of what type-beer, liquor, wine has one thing in common, it congests the liver, and robs the body of vital nutrients.

Research reported it did not matter what type of alcohol, there was an increased risk. I think it is important to study the type of alcohol used. Organic wine for instance, does not contain cancer causing sulfites. Yes there are natural occurring sulfites, but the study neglects to consider the functional endeavors of the ingredients and mechanisms used to make conventional wines.

The study reports in developed countries, about 118 of every 1,000 women develop any of these cancers, and each extra daily drink added increased breast cancers and four of the other types to that rate.

What about countries, developed or undeveloped where some alcohol beverages actually contain healing properties. Historically, alcohol has served as sources of needed nutrients, medicinal, antiseptic and analgesic means, as well as used for pleasure, ritual and remuneration and funerary purposes.

Xenophan and Plato both praised the moderate use of wine and identified numerous theraputetic properties of wine thus felt it was of a benefit to health and happiness. Keep in mind, the process of making wine then, compared to current methods.

The study is a bit vague, and did not take into consideration the health of the individuals. Choosing organic wines, beer and alcohol is one way to decrease the amount of uncontrollable aspects to making alcohol.

Moderation is key however, one needs to assess the other components of their lifestyle to reduce and prevent illness and disease.
