@Sam It was a headline…not a PhD thesis. It doesn’t claim in its three words that alcohol causes all cancer, or how it occurs, or anything, it’s just the headline.

Alcohol causes cancer is a fault arguments since not 100% of cancers are alcohol caused. However, the statement would be more acurate to say inarguably and definetly that, prolonged alcohol consumption causes cancer. Alcohol WILL raise your likelihood of develpping cancer due to the different chemical elements and carcinogenes present in alcohol drinks and that aren’t identified or isolated to the fact that sicentitis and chemists don’t know even exist. For at least the fact that the chemical of alcohol will cause some diturbances at the cellular level if not the genetic level of a cell a result of causes displasia and neoplasia.

This is the first I heard that alcohol causes oral cancer. Massive studies have shown that alcohol causes liver cancer, etc. I think that it is important for everyone to know the effects of alcohol as cancer related to alcohol is one of the leading causes of death.

@CancerResearch Not sure I follow your statement…who said anything about providing arguments that alcohol causes cancer, that was merely a provocative headline hinging on the post.

@Anne – indeed. But, while ethanol is not, per se, positive in the Ames tests for carcinogenicity and teratogenicity it is involved in the activation of various other compounds that are.

but having all this said. Alcohol in itself and alone CANNOT cause cancer without having other variables

For others, such as liver and breast cancers, alcohol is thought to play an indirect role by enhancing mechanisms that may cause cancer;
Cancer kills an estimated 526,000 Americans yearly, second only to heart disease :(

Yep, toxicity is always down to dose, some things become toxic/harmful at much lower doses than others.
