Alcohol, breast cancer risk
The risk rises exponentially according to how much alcohol is consumed on a daily basis, the research shows. Women who had one or two drinks a day increased their risk of developing breast cancer by 10 percent. Those who consumed more than three drinks a day had an increased risk of 30 percent.
Boosting one's risk of developing any disease by nearly one-third is significant. This research speaks to the good sense of women who abstain from alcohol or strictly limit its consumption. While some medical research suggests drinking moderate amounts of red wine protects against heart disease, subsequent studies indicate that people who drink grape juice experience the same benefits, sans alcohol. Seemingly, the grapes extend the benefit, not the wine.
Healthy habits can clearly help the risk of developing breast cancer but the role of early detection is, perhaps, just as significant. When detected early, breast cancer, can be treated more readily and more successfully. Women need to be diligent in both respects.
