Barb's Medical Minute
I am so sorry to be the bearer of bad new, but it is my job to inform:
Drinking alcohol raises your risk of
at least 7 different cancers.
These are the mouth, throat, larynx, esophagus, liver, breast and colon. Alcohol raises blood estrogen levels (breast cancer), and interferes with the metabolism of folate, which helps with DNA repair (colon and breast cancer), converts alcohol to acetaldehyde which damages tissues (throat and esophagus), cirrhosis (liver). For example: Breast cancer-- 1 or less drinks a day raises the risk by 4%, 1-3 drinks it’s 23%, and 4 or more the rise is 61%.

Obviously, the more you drink, the higher your risk. I know, we can’t win…soda is bad for you, sparkling waters will erode tooth enamel, and alcohol will kill you. I guess we are stuck with lemonade and water. Cheers!!
