A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) suggests that there is no safe amount of alcohol to drink to avoid the risk of oral and esophageal cancer. The research indicates that reducing or stopping alcohol intake can significantly lower the risk of these cancers, with a 34% reduction in oral cancer risk after 5-9 years of abstinence and a 65% reduction in esophageal cancer risk after 15+ years. The study highlights the carcinogenic effects of alcohol, including its metabolism to acetaldehyde and genotoxicity, which damages DNA. Health experts recommend that to prevent cancer, less alcohol consumption is better, and abstaining is best.
