US surgeon general sounds alarm about link between alcohol and cancer​

US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued an advisory Friday warning Americans that alcohol consumption can increase their cancer risk and called for an updated health warning label on alcoholic beverages.

“Even light drinking … really, there’s no benefit, and in fact, there may be harm,” he said.

Alcohol is the third-leading preventable cause of cancer in the US, the new advisory says, after tobacco and obesity. It notes that the link between alcohol consumption and cancer risk is well-established for at least seven types of cancer: breast, colorectal, esophagus, liver, mouth, throat and voice box. And the risk remains regardless of what type of alcohol is consumed, and it increases with greater consumption.

A recent IARC report found that about 20% of the nearly 75,000 lip and mouth cancers diagnosed worldwide each year are caused by drinking alcohol, for example.

Alcohol also creates unstable molecules called free radicals that can damage DNA and lead to cancer.

It alters levels of hormones, like estrogen and testosterone, which increases cancers at hormone-sensitive sites like the breast and prostate.

Stay away from that Glen Ellen swill Fernando, it will kill you.

Ever since I sat in a table with doctors and none of them wanted wine, I have cut down on my wine.
Never had Glen Ellen. Sorry Napa, I like European wine better.

You said you visited the Glen Ellen winery, dingleberry. If you make up stuff, you need to remember what it was.

Did I? Maybe I did and I forgot. If so, the wine wasn't that memorable. Sorry Glen Ellen.
I always wondered why you keep mentioning Glen Ellen. Now I know.

It's a choice. Die of booze or die of boredom.
