Alcohol intake and the risk of lung cancer: influence of type of alcoholic beverage

Article Abstract:

Alcohol consumption has been linked to increased risk of lung cancer. However, wine antioxidants may provide protection. Researchers investigated the association in 28,160 men and women after adjustment for age, smoking, and education. Men who consumed between 21 and 41 drinks and those who drank more than 41 drinks per week were at a greater risk. In women, high alcohol intake and type of beverage was limited due to a limited range of alcohol intake. Researchers concluded that among men, a high consumption of spirits and beer is associated with increased risk of cancer. They also found that wine might offer some protection against the development of lung cancer.

Alcohol intake, beverage preference, and risk of hip fracture in men and women

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that risk of hip fracture is associated not only with increased alcohol intake but also with the type of beverage imbibed. More than 27 drinks per week for men or 14 per week for women were found to be prominent risk factors for fractures. Beer drinkers were more susceptible to fractures than were wine or spirit drinkers.
