\"AlcoholCausesCancerFeb22\"A new large-scale genetic study tracking 150,000 Chinese participants for 11 years establishes that \u201calcohol directly causes cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study was published in end-January on the International Journal of Cancer. Researchers found that those who had two genetic variants that reduce alcohol tolerance consumed less alcohol, and as a result had reduced risk of cancer compared to those who did not have the genetic variants and consumed more alcohol.<\/p>\n

That study further established that no level of alcohol consumption is safe<\/strong>. While most cancers were caused by heavy (47%) or high-risk (39%) alcohol use, even low-risk alcohol use led to cancer 14% of the time.<\/p>\n

Consistent with previous studies, the new research found that among the participants those with the genetic variants for low alcohol tolerance consumed less alcohol<\/strong>, compared with those who did not have the variant<\/p>\n

In particular cancers previously known to be caused by alcohol, such as head and neck, oesophagus, colon, rectum and liver, were detected in high rates in those using more alcohol.<\/p>\n
