In previous post I referred to one of the causes of prostate cancer. Well men, today is your day, because now I will refer to new research published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarketers & Prevention indicating that red wine may reduce cancer risk lung cancer in men.
In smokers who drink two glasses of wine a day there was a reduction in cancer risk of 60% compared to smokers who do not drink.
The wine has an antioxidant component which acts as a protector against lung cancer will mostly among smokers, said Chun Chao who participated in the investigation.
The scientists studied the effect on lung cancer of different beverages: beer, red wine, white wine and other liquors. And he noted that bringing more benefits to the intake of red wine . Obviously
best to prevent lung cancer is to quit . Among those who participated in the study was that there was a 2% reduction in risk of lung cancer (per glass red wine consumed per month) for all men and non-smokers.
However, the most important risk reduction was among smokers who drank one glass of red wine per day, which set a 60% reduction in risk. Similarly, the top recommendation is to not smoke, because smoking also had an increased risk of cervical cancer than non-smokers.
