Virtually everyone knows the old adage that “a glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away”. Yet, according to scientists, these words hide more pitfalls than truth. In fact, alcoholic beverages could cause more harm than it seems, and increase the risk of developing some of the most feared diseases of all.
Better therefore to pay attention to the rumors and the famous common sense. In fact, many say that a glass away from the doctor, instead it could cause many types of cancers. Let’s find out why right away.
A nice glass during meals
It is really difficult to imagine a nice Sunday lunch without the inevitable bottle of wine on our tables. Whether it is white or red, this drink is so closely linked to our national cuisine that it is practically irreplaceable during meals. This link between wine and Italian culture is so important that many think that small amounts of this drink can be good for health. Yet, common sense often errs or exaggerates, especially when it comes to health. We have already specified this, explaining why before spending on foods and supplements rich in omega 3 it would be better to know this study. And we want to go back to it today, explaining why drinking alcohol can cause various types of cancers.
They say that a glass away from the doctor, instead it could cause many types of cancers
As reported by the authoritative Veronesi Foundation, drinking even limited quantities of alcohol is not good for your health, on the contrary, it can seriously damage it. Regular alcohol consumption is in fact linked to various types of cancer. These include colorectal, breast, oral and liver cancers. Obviously, the more alcohol is consumed, the greater the risk, but the daily and moderate consumption of these drinks should not be underestimated. In fact, according to the WHO, one in every 10 cases of cancer diagnosed in the world can be traced back to the daily consumption of alcohol.
With daily and moderate alcohol consumption we mean a couple of glasses of wine or a 33 ml beer per day. This fact is reinforced by what has been said by the Veronesi Foundation, according to which there are no safe limits within which “it is allowed” to consume alcohol. Likewise, there would be no better alcoholic beverages than others since ethanol is the carcinogen to keep away from. In short, no one can deny any person the pleasure of a glass of wine during meals. Yet, it is always better to know what you can go through in order to make sensible and responsible choices for your health.
