Alcohol linked to bowel cancer, says study - Yahoo! News

Alcohol linked to bowel cancer, says study - Yahoo! News: "LONDON (AFP) - Drinking wine or beer every day increases the risk of bowel cancer, according to a new study reported Tuesday.

The report, published by the International Journal of Cancer, says that drinking two large glasses of wine or two pints a day increases the risk of this disease by around quarter compared with non-drinkers.

One glass of wine or a pint of beer a day raises the risk by 10 percent.

'The research shows quite clearly that the more alcohol you drink the greater your risk of bowel cancer,' said Professor Tim Key, an expert with Cancer Research UK told the Daily Telegraph."
