It’s an easy ritual — a glass is plucked from the cupboard; a bottle of wine is opened once more; and red drops splash down, promising flavors that are as robust as they are wanted. Your evening always begins (and ends) with a drink. This is a routine you’ve crafted through the years, an assurance you rely on. The days are tedious. They demand sweet compensations. And there can be no harm, you believe, in the indulgence.
That belief is incorrect — and could eventually lead to concerns.
The desire for alcohol is shared by many (with almost 12 percent of the total female population consuming more than one glass per week). Such a desire is assumed to be safe, with individuals certain that even frequent sips won’t harm them. This is not true, however. The consumption of wines and liquors can instead wreak havoc: potentially causing breast cancer.
While the precise origins of breast cancer are unknown (too many factors are linked to its arrival, with genetics, lifestyle and simple chance all tangling), it is established that individuals who drink more than once a day are almost twice as likely to develop complications. This is because the tissue within breasts is sensitive to all foreign containments. Alcohol enters the veins, stimulates the production of unwanted cells and can cause cancer to develop.
It is essential therefore that women refrain from an excess of wine or other drinks — especially when they may have other contributing traits, such as: obesity, past experiences with breast illness or congenital defects.
Alcohol is allowed. It must simply be contained by good sense and moderation.
