YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNo amount of alcohol is good for you. Alcohol is a carcinogen, and people who drink more are more likely to die of cancer, including colon and breast cancers. Even light drinking, such as one drink a week, is linked to a slightly higher risk of death compared with people who drink more rarely.
Does that mean you should never drink alcohol? Dr. Trisha Pasricha, a physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and The Washington Post’s Ask a Doctor columnist, says it’s a common question among her patients.
