Wine and Breast Cancer
Posted On August 19, 2009
Wine is a funny thing. At one time, wine was said to be awful for you. But Italian scientists who were drinking the wine outlived everyone and so they were able to get the last word in … wine’s great for you as long as you don’t overconsume it.
With breast cancer, we have lived through several fad approaches, with hormones and drugs being applied and then removed over time. Where are we now in the ebb and flow of ideas?
Wine is now said to contribute to cancer recurrence. This article, however, argues for taking a glass with your radiation treatment: A glass of wine a day cut the risk of treatment-linked skin toxicity by two-thirds in women undergoing radiation therapy for breast cancer, Italian researchers report.
This debate will no doubt ping-pong back and forth for a while. In the interim, eat real food, in moderation.
