Is there a safe level of alcohol consumption to avoid cancer risk?
There is no completely safe level of alcohol consumption when it comes to cancer risk. However, the risk increases with the amount of alcohol consumed. The World Health Organization (WHO) and other health organizations recommend limiting alcohol intake to reduce cancer risk. For men, it is advised to limit intake to two standard drinks per day, and for women, one standard drink per day. Even low levels of alcohol consumption can increase the risk of certain cancers, such as breast cancer.
