Sobering Study
A study at the University of Mississippi Medical Center turned up some sobering information.
Mice were given either water or water and alcohol for a month. In week two, researchers injected them with melanoma. MIce that drank the human equivalent of 2-4 alcoholic drinks a day for a month had tumors twice as large as those in the water-only group.
Scientists explain it this way: The alcohol spurred development of new blood vessels needed to actually FEED cancer.
Alcohol supports cancer - kind of a political backer.
“Science News” quoted researcher Jian-Wei GU, “Our message is simple. For people with genetic signs of vulnerability to any kind of cancer, NO DRINKING.”
