RED WINE FOUND TO PREVENT COLON CANCER
According to topcancernews.com, a new study has found that drinking more than three glasses of red wine a week can prevent colon cancer. The compound resveratrol reduces the incidence of abnormal growths and cancers of the intestinal tract by two-thirds.
Dr. Joseph C. Anderson, an assistant professor of medicine at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, was quoted in the article as saying: "If you’re going to drink, drink red wine".
The incidence of cancers and polyps that can become cancerous was 9.9% in those that abstained from alcohol, 8.8% in those who drank three glasses or more of white wine a week and 3.4% in those that drank three glasses of red wine a week (a 68% reduction).
