FACT #23
Did you know that there is an increased colorectal cancer risk even with moderate alcohol consumption?
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) added colorectal cancer to the list of cancers causally related to alcohol in 2007. Meta-analysis examining the association between alcohol consumption and colorectal cancer risk shows there is an increased risk of 21% in those who consume between one and four alcoholic drinks a day and as much as a 52% increased risk in those who consume more than four drinks a day.
