Women-do you drink alcohol? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. You may already know that excessive alcohol consumption can lead to weight gain and mental health problems. But, did you know that studies have shown that one alcoholic drink a day can increase your risk for breast cancer? You heard right. One glass of wine daily can do more harm than good. Dr. Emma Miller from Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia conducted a study to see if women over the age of 45 were aware of this risk. Surprisingly, the participants seemed more worried about the short-term effects of drinking and were shocked to discover that it increased their risk for breast cancer. Turns out that glass of wine a day, doesn’t keep the doctor away. Talk to your doctor if you notice any changes to your breasts.
