The study was published in the annual report of the American Association for Cancer Research. The study authors recommend that as cancer rates in young people are increasing, it is important to take steps to reduce cancer risk, especially reducing alcohol consumption, according to the health website Healthline (USA).
Drinking a lot of alcohol increases the risk of many dangerous cancers.
Research shows that drinking too much alcohol increases the risk of six types of cancer, including head and neck, breast, colorectal, liver, stomach, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, starting to drink alcohol too early increases the risk of cancer at a young age.
One notable finding in the study was evidence that moderate to heavy drinking during pregnancy increases the risk of a child being born with leukemia, a dangerous blood cancer that affects blood-forming cells.
Limiting alcohol will reduce the risk of cancer
Another study, also presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, found that reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption reduced the risk of alcohol-related cancers by 8% and the risk of all cancers by 4%.
Many experts believe that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption. Just drinking increases the risk of cancer. The more you drink, the higher the risk of cancer. Meanwhile, some recommendations still give a safe level of alcohol consumption.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that women drink no more than one alcoholic beverage per day, while the limit for men is two drinks per day. Accordingly, one drink would be one can (330 ml) of regular beer or half a glass (100 ml) of wine. For hard liquor, one drink would be 30 ml.
Although drinking alcohol in moderation is less dangerous, experts recommend that the best way is to abstain from alcohol completely, according to Healthline.
