Red Wine Associated with CancerMonday, February 20, 2017
U.K., Feb. 10 -- According to a new study by a team of researchers from World Cancer Research Fund, red wine may make people at a greater risk of suffering from cancer. For the study, the researchers selected 2,000 adults from the United Kingdom and surveyed them in order to know whether they were aware about the risk that red wine causes. The findings of the study revealed that out of 10 people, nine had no knowledge that red wine can increase risk of cancer in people. Many were not aware about the steps that can take to reduce their risk of cancer. The study also noted that 27 percent younger adults in the age group of 18-24 were aware about the possible risks that red wine causes as compared to only 6 percent among the individuals in the age group of 55. The researchers have stated that for reducing cancer people can limit their intake of alcohol, quit smoking and maintain a healthy weight.
