The American Medical Association today reported

that 100,000 women were followed in a study over

28 years and the conclusion is that having less than

one drink a day (even a glass of wine) could increase

your risk of breast cancer.

Three to six glasses of alcohol/week increases your

risk of breast cancer by 15% and two glasses/day

increases your risk to 51%.

It was further reported that 11% of breast cancer is

related to alcohol consumption because alcohol

increases levels of estrogen which fuels tumor creation

and growth.

What a bummer, a glass of red wine was a nice treat with

dinner. If estrogen is part of the equation- then since my

ovaries were removed 14 years ago, and my breasts 3 years

ago, maybe I am at less risk? Genes be dammed!

The info is still new and it will be a great source of discussion-

worldwide! Very interesting!

LYN:

Yes, especially since according to research from the Mayo Clinic

” Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart

healthy. The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called

antioxidants may help prevent heart disease by increasing

levels of “good” cholesterol and protecting against artery

damage”. Personally, if I were a drinker of alcohol, it would

not make a difference, as the data keeps changing & who

knows what to believe. I got breast cancer because of the

BRCA gene. I had NONE of the other elevated risk factors.

In fact according to the way I conducted my life, I was in

the lower risk factor! So PTOOEY to this article! Good health all!
