Cancer Doctors Cite Risks of Drinking Alcohol

[_DoubtingThomas]

"The American Society of Clinical Oncology, which represents many of the nation’s top cancer doctors, is calling attention to the ties between alcohol and cancer. In a statement published Tuesday in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, the group cites evidence that even light drinking can slightly raise a woman’s risk of breast cancer and increase a common type of esophageal cancer. Heavy drinkers face much higher risks of mouth and throat cancer, cancer of the voice box, liver cancer and, to a lesser extent, colorectal cancers, the group cautions."

Good thing I have never tasted a single beer in my life, and don't plan on doing it anytime soon. Even if the doctors are wrong about the "light drinking" I think our world would have been a better without alcohol. Let's admit the church is probably right about alcohol.

But it is probably the only thing it has right.

Interesting that Jesus didn’t get it right.

This is of course a proof that Islam is of God.

I mean, how could Mohammed have known, back there in the seventh century?

We’re all gonna die of something. I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Right. Neither did Joseph Smith. He was known to stop down at Mosers and drink a beer.

How Beer Saved the World (2011)

This show traces the important role that beer has played in human history from the probable origins of the first beer at the dawn of history to the development of a special beer for use in zero gravity space missions.

It would be an interesting experiment to eliminate from our lives all of the things that can slightly raise the risk of something bad, and then add all of the things that can slightly diminish the risk of something bad.

We might discover (ahem) that many substances that we consume have both deleterious and beneficial effects - good for one thing, bad for another.

"the church is probably right about alcohol" - perhaps like a stopped clock?
