Recently, the "Addiction" magazine of the US Addiction Search Center (ARC) pointed out that drinking too much alcohol increases the risk of many cancer diseases.

The more you drink, the greater the risk of development cancer you may face with. People who drink more than 5 glasses of strong drinks a day have the risk of dying from cancer increased by 40 percent, even by drinking little amounts of alcohol, there is a risk to increase the possibility of cancer development.

In this new study, Dr. Jenny Connor and researchers from the Preventive Medicine Department of Otago University of Medicine, New Zealand, have focused their analysis of alcohol for 10 years of World Cancer Research Fund, US Agency for Research on Cancer, International Oncology Foundation.

The results showed that drinking alcohol increases the risk of seven types of cancer, namely oral cavity cancer, throat cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, colon cancer, colorectal cancer and breast cancer.

Experts share that, although the specific principle how drinking alcohol leads to cancer is not completely clear, but frequent alcohol consumption eventually deteriorates the body enzymes directly related to oral cavity cancer, throat cancer and esophageal cancer. Besides, the main reason why alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer is due to the fact that alcohol makes the level of estrogen in the female body increased.

Professor Connor said, there are even more evidence showing that drinking does not only increase the risk of the seven cancers mentioned above, but also increases the risk of skin cancer, prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer.

In addition, excessive drinking also causes problem for cardiovascular health.
