     Breast cancer as the name suggests is a real cancer to this present generation. It is indeed ruining lives.

  The relationship between cancer and alcohol is clear as intake of alcoholic beverages such as beer,wine and liquor is a risk factor  for breast cancer.

 Alcohol can increase levels of estrogen  and other hormones associated with breast cancer 🎀. That's why it is adviceable to stay away for a healthier life.




  Again , mind you ,alcohol is not your friend at all as research  says that alcohol users are more likely  to have increased amount  of folic acid in their system which  can lead to increased cancer risk.
