One Of The Leading Cancer Risk Factors " Alcohol

By Rita Goldman

Alcohol consumption of people nowadays is extremely high as compared to ten or twenty years ago. This increasing trend of alcohol intake is caused by partying, peer pressure, more bars and clubs, and the need to become cool in the society. Drinking alcohol has become a norm in the society that even the most famous Hollywood celebrities get arrested because of DUI or driving under the influence of alcohol. Ten or twenty years ago, the hottest celebrities back then didnt undergo the DUI arrests, simply because they dont party and drink alcohol that much. This only shows that alcohol consumption at present is a widespread disease in the community.

Because of this, cancer became the number two top killer diseases among humans. It has also been predicted to become the top killer disease in 2010, surpassing the statistical numbers of heart ailments. Why does alcohol increase the number of cancer cases each year? It is simply because alcohol is one of the risk factors of cancer. If there is an increase in alcohol consumption, there will also be an increase in possible cancer development.

We all know that the party scene in hangout clubs and bars is always mingled with alcohol and cigarettes. Drinking alcohol and cigarette smoking is a deadly combination because both of these are cancer risk factors. If you have a family history of cancer, you are tripling your chances of cancer development when you drink alcohol and smoke. Even if you dont smoke, the second-hand smoking, or inhaling smoking fumes from smokers, in the party scene makes you a perfect candidate for cancer.

The increase of breast cancer cases among women are caused by these deadly combinations of cancer risk factors. Even a small shot glass filled with alcohol taken each single day increases your breast cancer risk. If you are unaware of the presence of breast cancer or even a breast tumor and you still continue drinking, you are speeding up the development of cancer cells inside your body.

Do yourself a favor, stop drinking alcohol now. You wanted to save your life and not end it in a miserable cancer tragedy. - 20765
