Research Shows Alcohol Increases Spread of Cancer

Wow. This is profound if it ends up being confirmed by other studies. According to a study by the Rush University Medical Center, when they applied Alcohol to colon and breast cancer cells, the cells became more aggressive in spreading.

I read the initial summary on www.jointogether.org and had to share this one. If you know somebody that has or is at a high risk or having cancer, you should let them know about this study and discourage any and all alcohol use for them.

The actual study appeared in the October 2009 issue of the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.
