Alcohol intake during middle age and later atherosclerosis - International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research Critique 190
2016-08-11 15:53:00| Daily beverage news and comment - from just-drinks.com
Carotid artery disease can be estimated by ultrasound from the thickness of the wall of the arteries (recorded as carotid artery intima/medial thickness, cIMT) and by evidence of atherosclerotic plaques within the carotid arteries. The association between alcohol intake and such lesions is unclear, as some studies show a positive association with cIMT and/or plaques while others show no association.

Pulling apart poor research linking alcohol consumption and cancer - International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research Critique 188
2016-06-28 14:04:46| Daily beverage news and comment - from just-drinks.com
Previous scientific research has shown that heavy alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for upper aero-digestive cancers, and even light drinking increases slightly the risk of breast cancer in women. A recent study is based on a very small number of cases of cancer in New Zealand, tabulated separately for Maori and non-Maori subjects. The research applies estimates of alcohol effects from other population-based studies.

Is there a link between alcohol and skin cancer? - International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research Critique 187
2016-06-14 12:48:00| Daily beverage news and comment - from just-drinks.com
Skin cancers, whether melanoma, basal cell, or squamous cell, are all increased by ultra-violet rays of the sun, and such cancers are much more common in areas of the world with more sun exposure. The risk of such cancers, however, is higher among individuals reporting excessive tanning. A recent study was undertaken to judge the relation between alcohol consumption and the risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), an association that is unclear from earlier research.
