Alcoholic Drinks Raise the Intake of Breast Cancer Canada Drugs

Females who have as little as 3 alcoholic drinks per week may have a fairly boosted threat of emergent breast cancer. 

Females who have as little as three alcoholic drinks per week may have a fairly boosted threat of emergent breast cancer.  Thus, increasing their consumption of Canadian prescription drugs.

"We did see a modest risk of breast cancer associated with lower levels of alcohol consumption," said lead study author Dr. Wendy Chen, an assistant professor of medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.

"It really is a cumulative average over a long period of time that gave the most consistent association with breast cancer risk," Chen said.

Dr. Steven Narod, research chair in breast cancer at Women's College Research Institute in Toronto, said the study was "well conducted."

"For breast cancer, it does seem the risks [of alcohol] start up at a lower level than we previously thought," Narod said. 

But he advised females who drink habitually not to fret too much. "I don't think I would worry about drinking one or two drinks a week. If your average is five or six a week, I'm not sure that I would be particularly worried about that, either. But 10 or more a week, maybe," Narod said.  Also, since most drinkers are also smokers, this is something to consider – there may be a need to buy Alimta.

"Previous studies have suggested a glass of red wine daily has cardiovascular benefits, and those findings should not be discounted," said Narod.

"Women who abstain from all alcohol may find that a potential benefit of lower breast cancer risk is more than offset by the relinquished benefit of reduced cardiovascular mortality associated with an occasional glass of red wine," he wrote.

Furthermore, the study authors stated no evidence exists to expose that giving up drinking will decrease a female's threat of breast cancer, and lessen their visit to Canadian pharmacy drugstores.
