(Update) Just A Single Alcoholic Beverage Increases Cancer Risk

According to a new study, just having one single alcoholic beverage on a daily basis can greatly increase the risk of developing cancer for women.<br /> ....Boston (dbTechno) - According to a new study, just having one single alcoholic beverage on a daily basis can greatly increase the risk of developing cancer for women.

This goes against the common belief that has been in place for years, as it was always thought that having some alcohol in the form of wine was actually good for your health.

Researchers have shown though that this may not actually be the case after all.

The study was led by Naomi Allen from the University of Oxford and focused on 1.3 million women who were all middle-aged.

All of the women who took part in the study were from the Million Women Study.

This was the largest study in history to look at alcohol and how it related to cancer risk in women.

What researchers found was startling, as having only one alcohol drink daily increased their risk of developing various types of cancers.

This alcoholic drink could be in the form of a glass of wine, beer, etc.

The risk increased the highest in terms of liver cancer, breast cancer, and cancer in the rectum.

The study has been published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
