Alcoholic drinks pose a serious threat to the body.
The doctor warned that not long ago a connection was discovered between alcohol consumption and cancer.
As oncologist and surgeon Ivan Karasev wrote in his Telegram channel, these conclusions were obtained based on the effect that alcohol has on the human body.
In particular, when ethyl alcohol is broken down, it turns into a compound called acetaldehyde. Its function is to increase the survival rate and enhance the effects of carcinogens.
Long-term alcohol consumption can lead to the development of malignant processes associated with the gastrointestinal tract.
In particular, the expert noted that the risk of developing lip carcinoma, oral cavity carcinoma, rectal cancer and other oncological diseases increases significantly.
Therefore, it is better to give up alcohol altogether or significantly reduce it in your diet.
