The research conducted by The University of Tokyo revealed that people who drank two or fewer drinks a day still had an elevated cancer risk.


Excessive alcohol consumption is dangerous for health, we all know it. It casts a serious risk of liver damage, heart problem and many other health issues. That's why we are always advised to drink in moderation. Those who are everyday drinkers are specifically advised to limit the consumption to not more than two drinks.

We have often heard and read that having 1-2 drinks a day poses no threat to our health; but the results of a new study suggest otherwise.

Researchers in Japan have found that even light alcohol consumption might increase the risk of cancer. So, a couple of drinks every day (that we always thought to be harmless) may not be really a good idea. 

The research conducted by The University of Tokyo revealed that people who drank two or fewer drinks a day still had an elevated cancer risk regardless of how long they had consumed alcohol. The analyses were also classified by sex, drinking/smoking behaviours and occupational class, and displayed the same patterns. The results were published in the journal Cancer. 

Masayoshi Zaitsu, one of the researchers from The University of Tokyo, said, "In Japan, the primary cause of death is cancer. Given the current burden of overall cancer incidence, we should further encourage promoting public education about alcohol-related cancer risk.

The researchers analysed data of 63,232 people dealing with cancer, procured from 33 general hospitals in Japan. All the patients divulged their average daily amount of standardised alcohol units and the duration of alcohol consumption. The team discovered a linear association between cancer risk and alcohol consumption.

The study gives some noteworthy warning signals to us. It found that the overall cancer risk appeared to be the lowest at zero alcohol consumption. The elevated risk could be blamed at alcohol-related cancer risk across relatively common sites, including the colorectum, stomach, breast, prostate and esophagus.

Thanks for the clean writing, no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have, and a quick stop at <a href="http://blog33officer.shop" />blog33officer</a> kept that polish going nicely, it really does make a difference when a reader can move through a page without tripping on every line or going back to reread.
A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at <a href="http://slategrid.shop" />slategrid</a> continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.
Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at <a href="http://futurecartarena.shop" />futurecartarena</a> suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.
The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at <a href="http://questqode.shop" />questqode</a> continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.
Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at <a href="http://foundflow.shop" />foundflow</a> extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.
Really liked the calm tone running through the post, no shouting and no urgency forced into the writing, and a look at <a href="http://devmagnate.shop" />devmagnate</a> kept that quiet confidence going, the kind of voice that makes the reader feel respected rather than yelled at which is depressingly common across most modern blog content these days.
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at <a href="http://omniordery.shop" />omniordery</a> reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.
Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at <a href="http://pureport.shop" />pureport</a> held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.
Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at <a href="http://traceengine.shop" />traceengine</a> held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.
Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at <a href="http://kodegrid.shop" />kodegrid</a> provided ammunition for a third share, content that suits multiple audiences without being generic enough to be useless to any of them is genuinely valuable and this site has that multi audience quality clearly.
A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at <a href="http://looplogic.shop" />looplogic</a> maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at <a href="http://solidsource.shop" />solidsource</a> prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.
Reading this prompted me to dig out an old reference book related to the topic, and a stop at <a href="http://utilityunit.shop" />utilityunit</a> extended that connection to other sources, content that connects me back to my own existing knowledge rather than asking me to forget it is content with continuity and this site has that continuous quality.
Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at <a href="http://tactkit.shop" />tactkit</a> maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.
