There had been studies pointing out the good and bad side of wine and so far, the results had been promising. Wine was said to be good for the heart and there are certain wine types that have antioxidant properties that can help in fighting cancer. However, this new major study has found that drinking only half a glass of wine can actually increase the risk of breast cancer.
According to the study, as little as 10 grams of alcohol per day, which is equivalent to a half glass of wine or even beer, can raise the risk of breast cancer in premenopausal women by five percent. At the same time, the same amount of the alcoholic beverage can raise the risk in postmenopausal women by nine percent.
