Alcohol is carcinogenic to the body and can even cause cancer.
This was discovered by researchers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
How does alcohol affect cells?
Once in the blood, ethyl alcohol is converted into an organic compound called acetaldehyde.
It enhances the action of other carcinogens in the body. This leads to damage to genes.
And problems with DNA cells provoke excessive proliferation of cancer cells.
Consequences of frequent use
Excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages on a regular basis can lead to the development of gastrointestinal cancer.
So, by giving up alcohol, you can significantly reduce the risk of developing cancer.
A dangerous combination
In addition to alcohol, overeating foods with saturated or trans-unsaturated fats can also cause cancer.
This process gets worse as a person gains excess weight.
Moreover, by “feeding” on fat, malignant cells are able to avoid death from drugs.
