Excessive consumption of alcohol causes a rise in the death rate in the world, especially in light of the home quarantine during the epidemic.
The Breast Cancer Research Centers confirm that daily drinking of alcohol is dangerously associated with breast cancer, according to the It Zeith website.
Nutritionist Karen Graham says that excessive consumption of wine poses a great danger to women’s health, and it is wrong to believe that daily drinking of wine is a healthy and beneficial habit, as its risk outweighs its benefits, and that one drink a day increases the risk of breast cancer, That is, the more you drink, the more likely you are to develop breast cancer.
And the site “Breast Cancer” confirmed Graham’s words, where he stated that consuming only three drinks a week increases a woman’s risk of breast cancer by 15%, and statistics indicate that only a quarter of women between 15 and 44 years are aware of the relationship of breast cancer to alcohol.
Dr. Blair Washington explained that drinking alcohol stimulates the body to produce acetaldehyde (a toxic substance), which accumulates in breast tissue and causes DNA damage, affecting the messages that cells receive to function and grow normally, and the National Cancer Institute added that alcohol can disrupt the absorption process. The body is full of antioxidants and vitamins that can help prevent cancer.
And Washington added that alcohol affects the level of estrogen in the body, as alcohol consumption causes the estrogen hormone to rise to dangerous levels, and this encourages the spread of estrogen-responsive breast cancer cells, and also causes an excessive secretion by the body of the growth factor hormone, similar to “insulin 1”, which leads to the proliferation of Cancer cells and increased density of breast tissue.
