    According to a recent Million Women Study conducted by researchers of University of Oxford daily intake of even a small amount of alcohol can increase risks of cancer among women. The study was conducted over a million women, making it a largest study ever. Apart from smoking and diet related factors such as obesity even regular intake of little alcohol has become a risk factor. So lifestyle change can truly be held accountable for increased cases of cancer. In UK alone there are some 7,000 cases of cancer every year. There is a very little reason to negate this study. It was conducted over a period of seven years over largest group ever to identify risk factors of cancer among women. Though the risk of cancer among alcohol consumers is minimal 5% but it is nevertheless a factor. Moreover there are no markers either, so even minimal regular consumption could increase risk of breast, liver and rectal cancer. Hope similar studies are being conducted for men. This may not come as good news for women who like to raise a toast every evening with or without reason.
