It has been told that moderate consumption of red wine, on average 2 glass per day will be beneficial for our health. For other alcohol in general, the suggested consumption is 4 drinks a day for men, and 2 drinks a day for women. Apparently, this no longer hold true. Red wine consumption is particularly good for cardiac disease, however consumption of wine and alcohol in general would increase the risk of cancer.
A new report "Alcohol as a Cause of Cancer" is released today, 8 May 2008, showing alarming link between alcohol consumption and particular types of cancer.
An international audit of cancer and alcohol research was conducted by The Cancer Institute New South Wales. The study found that even as little as 2 glass of alcohol per day can significantly increase the risk of cancer. And thus, reducing alcohol consumption will lower risk of cancer.
The types of cancer associated with alcohol consumption include:
- bowel cancer,
- breast cancer,
- head and neck cancer,
- oesophageal or gullet cancer.
The average risk increase per average drink is around 10-20% for some of the above cancers.
I myself have received news in less than a week that 3 men I know of have been diagnosed with colon or prostate cancer. All 3 of them smoked and/or drink wine on regular basis.
Cancer, in fact, is a very common disease. On average, 1 in 2 men, and 1 in 3 women will most likely get cancer in their lifetime. The prevention strategies would include, but not limited to, eliminating the risk factors such as alcohol and tobacco. For more tips on cancer prevention, please refer to my previous post on cancer.

Your blog is very informative, thank you for sharing so much health related information. Thanks to you at least now I know what I am doing wrong. I am looking for ways to relieve the pain in my neck caused by arthritis. I found this blog about a neck traction device: http://necktracktion.wordpress.com Would you happen to know if that sort of device is any good? Please remove the link if it is against your blog policy. I would be grateful for some advice.
Hi Lari.
Thank you for your comment. Hope you will visit here from time to time to read more on useful health information (^-^)
For relieving pain in your neck, you may want to try cream containing glucosamine and chondroitin. Glucosamine is to help in creation of cartilage, and Chondroitin is to make cartilage more flexible.
Maybe you should take anti-inflammatories too.
Hope it helps.
PS: am not sure about the neck traction. Anyway, I've tried to visit the page but I cannot view it.
Hi,
The use of a small amount of alcohol is really good for health. Doctors suggest it for the better function of our heart system. But the quantity is only just 30ml, not more than that. Today the studies says that the use of read wine also causes censer.So better to avoid the the use of alcohol in the life and save our life. Life is so valuable.
