Alcohol consumption linked to 14 types of cancer

Alcohol consumption linked to 14 types of cancer

Alcohol consumption is linked to approximately 4% of all deaths and is related to 5% of all diseases in the world, says a study by the Nutritional and Molecular Epidemiology Unit at the Cancer Research and Prevention, Italy. The study found that people who suffer from alcoholism have significantly higher rates of death for 14 types of cancer.

To perform the study, scientists collected data on 2,272 alcoholics (1,467 men and 805 women), predominantly middle- aged people who were treated from 1985 to 2001. According to the authors of the analysis, people who consumed alcohol in large doses - more than two doses per day - had a higher risk of mortality from specific diseases such as infections, diabetes, immune system diseases , nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive, compared to people who did not consume alcohol.

The results also showed that alcoholic women are more likely to recover and lower their risk of death than male alcoholics. All of these final data were taken into account sex, family history, age and other factors that would increase the risk of death.

Scientists claim that alcohol can compromise the structure and functionality of various organs, compromising cancer prevention and directly increasing the risk of death. Other aspects of the lifestyle of alcoholics? such as smoking and unbalanced diet - may contribute to this high-risk pattern.

Alcohol consumption and strokes

In addition to the long-term harm caused by alcohol, alcohol consumption causes harmful effects immediately after ingestion. Excessive consumption of drinks containing alcohol such as beer, wine or liquor can double the risk of stroke within the first hour and remain elevated after two hours, according to a study published in the Stroke newspaper. Researchers interviewed 390 people three days after they had a stroke.

The most common type of stroke, stroke, occurred when blood flow to the brain was blocked by a clot. People who had their ability to speak impaired by stroke were not included in this study. During the interview, 14 people said they had consumed alcoholic beverages one hour before the stroke, 104 said they had drunk in the last 24 hours, and 248 said they had drunk in the last year.

The risk of stroke was twice as high for the first hour after consuming alcohol and continued 60% higher than normal in the second hour. The intake is considered as high as 500 milliliters of beer or 100 milliliters of wine per day.

The result of the survey remained the same even after the scientists took into account other factors that increase the chance of vascular problems such as diabetes, obesity or bad eating habits. Previous studies have shown that a moderate consumption of alcohol, 500 milliliters of beer or 100 milliliters of wine per day, can be beneficial to health, reducing the risk of developing heart disease.

When is it really necessary to extract a tooth?

Dental extraction is a procedure less and less necessary. This is because technology and dentistry itself have evolved greatly, making the indication of withdrawing a tooth less and less frequent, focusing on specific cases.

How to talk about personal issues to a stranger, and how to trust that it can help solve the problem? Doing psychotherapy is nothing more than talking about yourself, sharing with a professional feelings and emotions, both current and related to past experiences.
