Alcohol and Cancer Risk

Alcohol consumption is linked to an increased risk of various cancers, particularly breast cancer, due to its impact on cell regulation and the immune system's ability to combat tumor growth. Even low to moderate alcohol intake can have significant effects, with studies suggesting a 4 to 13% increase in cancer risk for every 10 grams consumed daily. Despite the established relationship between alcohol and cancer since the late 1980s, this critical information remains under-discussed in health conversations.
