Frequent consumption of white wine may increase the risk of developing melanoma – the study, published in the journal “Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention”.
the American Scientists from brown University analyzed data obtained from the three studies concerning the relationship between alcohol consumption and the risk of developing skin cancer. In particular, they touched more than 210 thousand. people and lasted an average of 18 years.
the Analysis of questionnaires about how nutrition, showed that eating about 12-13 grams of alcohol per day was associated with an increased risk of skin cancer by 14%.
interestingly, the main potential culprit was a white wine. Other alcoholic beverages such as red wine, beer or drinks were only slightly associated with risk of melanoma.
Consumption of white wine had the highest correlation with melanoma attackers places, as a rule, are less exposed to solar radiation.
Although scientists do not know why white wine had the greatest impact on the development of cancer, I suspect that maybe this is due to the high content of acetaldehyde. This relationship occurs in larger quantities in wine than other alcoholic beverages, and in the case of red wine negative effects can be kompensiruet antioxidants.
These results suggest that skin cancer should be added to the list of malignancies that have a connection with alcohol consumption. These include first of all neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract and the respiratory tract, cancer of the liver, pancreas, colon and breast cancer.
Previous studies have shown that alcohol can cause kancerogenezę, as ethanol is metabolised to acetaldehyde, which damages DNA and impairs its reconstruction, the scientists write.
