摘要

EVEN MODEST BUT REGULAR ALCO hol consumption contributes to US cancer deaths, according to new findings reported in the American Journal of Public Health. Researchers from the United States, Canada, and France analyzed published meta-analyses of alcohol use and cancer risk, 2009 US mortality data, and national surveys of alcohol sales and consumption in the United States. The analysis examined deaths from 7 malignancies previously linked with alcohol use: cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx, larynx, esophagus, colon, rectum, liver, and female breast.
