Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,
Isaiah 5:22 NKJV
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a
brother be a .....
drunkard, ...with such an one no not to eat.
1 Corinthians 5:11
"New research shows that even a single alcoholic drink per day can increase your risk of developing certain types of cancer, including breast cancer in women.Though people have long believed that a glass or two of wine can be good for your heart, the new study, conducted in conjunction with researchers in the U.S., Canada, and France, shows that the cancer risks far outweigh any heart-healthy benefits.
"No public health body or clinical body recommends that people start drinking to improve their health," he added.
The research, published Friday in the American Journal of Public Health, relied on existing data about cancer deaths, alcohol consumption, and risk estimates from other scientific studies. It marks the first time that researchers have examined alcohol-related cancer rates in 30 years.
They found that alcohol could be blamed for about 20,000 cancer deaths each year, or 1 out of every 30 cancer deaths in the United States, which was about what they expected. But while heavy drinkers faced the highest risks, about a third of those deaths were among people who drank only small amounts of alcohol—1.5 alcoholic drinks or fewer per day. And it didn't matter what type of drink was consumed; standard servings of beer (12 ounces), wine (5 ounces), and hard liquor (1.5 ounces) all contain the same amount of alcohol." YahooNews
