Red wine is good for your heart? True BUT…it is not good for the breast, whether it is red or white wine or any form of alcoholic drinks. “There is a dose-response relation between alcohol and breast cancer risk: the higher the daily intake, the greater the risk”, according to Dr. Weiss…”A 2012 meta-analysis of 113 studies of light drinking and breast cancer found that the equivalent of 1 drink per day increases risk…”. And a “study published in 2011 found that the regular consumption of a light amount of alcohol — 3 to 6 glasses of wine per week — over a nearly 30-year period increased a woman’s risk for invasive breast cancer by a small but statistically significant amount (JAMA.2011;306:1884-1890)”. ADVICE: avoid regular intake of alcohol.
