| Too Much Booze Leads to Cancer |
| 2011-04-10 |
You knew somebody was spending grant money on this, right? About one in 10 cancers in men and one in 33 in women in western European countries are caused by current and past alcohol consumption, according to a study released on Friday.In 2008, for men, 44, 25 and 33 percent of upper digestive track, liver and colon cancers respectively were caused by alcohol in six of the countries examined, the study found. The countries were Britain, Italy, Spain, Greece, Germany and Denmark. Fortunately, I don't live in any of those countries. |

| #5 Chocolate provides better heart attack prevention than all booze except red wine. Since I don't like wine, and LOVE semi-sweet chocolate, guess which one I use to lower my blood pressure? |

| #2 I'm also very skeptical of any "scientific" study that flat out states "...44, 25 and 33 percent of upper digestive track, liver and colon cancers respectively were caused by alcohol..." There is not definite cause of cancers, just risk risers. There are a lot of people that smoke everyday and never develop lung cancer, but smoking will definitely add to the risk of developing it. Now my question is, "Who funded this study and who were the scientists involved?" 10-1 it is a bunch of major political players that are trying to influence policy, like a higher tax on alcohol and they are providing the justification. |
