Alcohol Consumption 'Can Increase Breast Cancer Risk'.
Women who regularly consume alcohol could be increasing their risk of developing breast cancer, a leading campaign group has claimed.
According to the Breast Cancer Campaign, incidence rates of breast cancer have increased by in excess of 50% during the past 25 years.
Moreover, the past ten years have seen a 13% rise in female breast cancer with eight in ten cases being diagnosed in women aged 50 or over.
Pamela Goldberg, chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign, warned: “Regularly drinking alcohol can increase the risk of breast cancer so consumption should be limited.”
”As well as regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables, high in fibre and including oily fish will help to maintain a healthy body weight and general good health,” she advised.
In a recent report, the Breast Cancer Campaign also indicated that vigorous exercise can play a part in reducing the risk of postmenopausal breast cancer.
