Can You Be Cancer Free For Life And Drink Alcohol?
By Laurence Magne


Are you at risk?

Cancer kills an estimated 526,000 Americans yearly, second only to heart disease. The most common cancers in the United States are cancer of the lung, large bowel, and breast. Rothman, K.J. in Preventive Medicine 9(2):174-179, 1980, found that there is now considerable evidence to suggest a connection between heavy alcohol consumption and increased risk for cancer, with an estimated 2 to 4 % of all cancer cases thought to be caused either directly or indirectly by alcohol.

Subject: Mr

I ahve been drinking for many years, and so have many people in my family. I didn't know that drinking alcohol could cause cancer. I know it's bad for the liver, but I had not heard that alcohol causes cancer. Thank you for ringing the alarm bell, as my doctor saying my liver is bad.
