 "In this way, alcohol will lead to death! American Surgeon General gave a big warning…")
The Surgeon General of America has made a big statement on the health risks caused by alcohol consumption. They have suggested that liquor bottles should carry a cancer warning like cigarettes. The warning highlights the direct link between alcohol consumption and rapidly increasing cancer cases worldwide.
Ethanol in alcohol is converted to acetaldehyde in the body, researchers say. It is a chemical that can damage DNA and promote cancer. Apart from this, alcohol also weakens the body’s ability to repair cells.
Types of cancer caused by alcohol
* Cancer of mouth, throat and liver.
* Breast cancer, especially in women.
* Colon and rectal cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, the risk of these diseases increases many times in people who consume alcohol regularly.
The impact of every sip
Experts say that whether alcohol is consumed in small quantities or in large quantities, it definitely has an effect on the body. Those who think that ‘drinking less’ will do no harm should know that every sip affects the body’s DNA.
Suggested by the US Surgeon General
Regarding this matter, the Surgeon General has appealed to the liquor manufacturers to give clear health warnings on their products. He says that if people know that alcohol can cause cancer, they can reduce its consumption.
Need for awareness
Alcohol consumption is also increasing rapidly in countries like India. To control this situation, it is necessary that the government and health organizations make people aware. Placing warnings on alcohol bottles could prove to be an effective step in the face of increasing cases of cancer.
