How often do you drink?
According to a Harvard research, women who drink every day were more likely to develop breast cancer followed by tumors of liver, bowel, throat, mouth, oesophagus and larynx.
According to the research, women who drink everyday no matter how little are 13 percent more likely to be diagnosed with certain cancers.
The findings are based on health records of 135,000 people over 30 years.
“Whether you drink small amounts regularly or larger amounts less often, it doesn’t make a difference to the risk of cancer – it’s the amount of alcohol in total that matters. Cutting down on alcohol helps reduce the risk of cancer,” said Sarah Williams of Cancer Research UK, Daily Mail reports.
The researchers also warned women with a family history of breast cancer to consider reducing their alcohol intake or even abstain totally if they can.
The research was published in the British Medical Journal.
