Alcohol Use Linked to Multiple Health Conditions
A recent study found an association between alcohol consumption and 20 different health outcomes, including various cancers. The findings suggest that even moderate drinking may have negative effects on overall health.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) both warn about the risks of alcohol consumption. A new study published in Nature Health found that any amount of alcohol can raise the risk for major cancers, including colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer.
Even Low-to-Moderate Alcohol Use May Increase Risks
The study analyzed 843 cohort and case-control studies to evaluate the relationship between alcohol consumption and health outcomes. The researchers found that even low-to-moderate drinking may increase the risk for certain health conditions, especially cancers.
