According to a recent WHO declaration, there is no safe level of alcohol use that is unaffected by health.
In brief
The more alcohol drunk, the higher the chance of acquiring cancer.
Any alcoholic beverage has a danger to the drinker’s health from the first drop.
The highest amount of alcohol consumption is in Europe.
Through Sneha Mordani: There is no safe level of alcohol that has no negative effects on health, according to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) most recent evaluation. According to a statement from the international health organisation published in The Lancet Public Health, drinking alcohol significantly raises your chance of acquiring cancer is ingested and that 200 million individuals in Europe are at risk of acquiring cancer linked to alcohol.
It was stated that the most recent data analysis showed that “light” and “moderate” alcohol consumption, defined as less than 1.5 litres of wine, less than 3.5 litres of beer, or less than 450 millilitres of spirits per week, is the cause of half of all alcohol-related cancers in the WHO European Region.
“At least seven different cancers, including the most prevalent ones like bowel and female breast cancer, are brought on by alcohol. Given that ethanol (alcohol) causes cancer through biological mechanisms as the substance degrades in the body, drinking any alcohol-containing beverage, regardless of cost or quality, increases the chance of getting cancer “the WHO.
The health organisation claimed that in order to establish a “safe” level of alcohol consumption, credible scientific proof would have to show that, at and below that level, drinking alcohol carries no danger of disease or harm. The statement goes on to say that there is no threshold at which alcohol’s carcinogenic effects “turn on” and begin to appear in the human body, according to the research that is currently available.
“We cannot discuss an alleged safe amount of alcohol consumption. The risk to the drinker’s health begins with the first drop of any alcoholic beverage, regardless of how much is consumed. According to Dr. Carina Ferreira-Borges, acting Unit Lead for Noncommunicable Disease Management and Regional Advisor for Alcohol and Illicit Drugs in the WHO Regional Office for Europe, the only thing we can say with certainty is that drinking less is safer and drinking more is bad.
With almost 200 million individuals at risk of acquiring an alcohol-related disease, the WHO observed that the European Region had the greatest alcohol consumption level and the largest percentage of drinkers in the population worldwide Cancer.
