997: Competitive Victimhood
Alcohol Consumption and DNA Damage Study
A study from Cambridge, funded by Cancer Research UK, found that alcohol breaks down into acetaldehyde, a toxin that can permanently damage the DNA of stem cells. This damage increases the risk of developing seven types of cancer, including breast and bowel cancer. The research used mice to demonstrate how the body's natural repair enzymes can be overwhelmed by binge drinking.
