Many researches have been done over the years regarding the consumption of alcohol. Different claims have been made in these. But the World Health Organization (WHO) has made a shocking claim about alcohol. WHO has claimed that the risk of cancer starts from drinking the first drop of alcohol. Along with this, there is no such scale of drinking alcohol, in which it can be said that drinking alcohol is not harmful.
WHO recently published a statement in The Lancet Public Health. It states that when it comes to alcohol consumption, there is no safe amount that does not affect health. Dr Carina Ferreira-Borges, Regional Consultant and Management of Non-Communicable Diseases, says that we cannot make any claims about the use of so-called safe levels of alcohol.
The study states that alcohol consumption significantly increases the risk of at least 7 types of cancer. This includes mouth cancer, throat cancer, liver cancer, esophagus cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer. Actually, alcohol is not a normal drink, rather it causes great harm to the body. Alcohol is such a toxic substance. It was classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer decades ago. This is the riskiest. This also includes tobacco.
WHO has claimed in its study that ethanol causes cancer through biological mechanisms. The meaning is clear that no matter how expensive the alcohol is or why it is taken in small quantities, it creates the risk of cancer. The study states that consuming more alcohol increases the risk of cancer to a great extent.
New figures show that alcohol is the single leading cause of cancer in the European region. This also includes those who had consumed alcohol in moderation. Not only this, the problem of breast cancer has been seen in women who are fond of alcohol. Only alcohol is responsible for this. Also, studies done in the European Union show that cancer is the leading cause of death there.

Not only this, the problem of breast cancer has been seen in women who are fond of alcohol. Only alcohol is responsible for this, as well as a study in the European Union shows that cancer is the major cause of death there.
Dr Carina Ferreira-Borges, Regional Adviser on the Management of Non-Communicable Diseases and based in the WHO Regional Office for Europe, says that we cannot make any claims about the use of so-called safe levels of alcohol. It doesn't matter how much alcohol you drink because the danger to the health of the drinker starts from the very first drop of alcohol. He said that we can only claim that the more alcohol you drink, the more harmful it is to your health.
WHO Regional Director Dr. Jürgen Rehm says that if we look at the highest alcohol consumption figures globally, people drink a lot in the European region. More than 200 million people in this region are at risk of cancer due to alcohol. There are no studies that claim that moderate consumption of alcohol reduces the risk of cancer. He said that more deaths are taking place due to consumption of alcohol in the deprived and vulnerable population. Along with this, the rate of hospitalization of these people is also high.
