Following the January surgeon’s advice, which links alcohol consumption with seven types of cancer, a new study by the International Cancer Research Agency (IARC) has revealed another possible risk.
The research, which was recently published in Plos Medicine, classified alcohol as a carcinogen, highlighting a greater risk of pancreatic cancer.
The previous advice of the General Surgeon called the Mama Chanceers (in women), colorectum, esophagus, voice box, liver, mouth and throat.

Researchers associated the risk of pancreatic cancer with beer and liqueurs/liqueurs, but not with wine intake.
“Alcohol consumption is a known carcinogen, but so far, the evidence that it specifically links it to pancreatic cancer has been considered unclear,” said Dr. Pietro Ferrari, author of the study, head of the nutrition branch and metabolism of the IARC, in a statement.

“Our results provide new evidence that pancreatic cancer can be another type of cancer associated with alcohol consumption, a connection that has so far been underestimated.”
For the study, researchers recruited 2.5 million participants with an average age of 57 years, following them for about 16 years.

Of the group, there were 10,067 cases of pancreatic cancer.
Each increase of 10 grams of ethanol a day in alcohol consumption was associated with an increase of 3% of the risk of pancreatic cancer, according to the study.

Women who consumed 15 to 30 grams of alcohol (about one to two standard drinks) per day had an increase of 12% in the risk of pancreatic cancer.
Men who consumed 30 to 60 grams (two to six standard drinks) per day had an increase in the risk of 15% pancreatic cancer and the intake of more than 60 grams daily were associated with a risk of 36% larger.
“There is really no safe drinking level when it comes to cancer risk.”
The investigation had some limitations.
“This observational study examined the alcohol intake evaluated in a single moment during the adulthood of mid -and late, and included a limited number of Asian cohorts,” the researchers wrote.

“An additional research is needed to better understand the role of alcohol consumption of a lifetime, for example, during early adulthood, and the influence of specific consumption patterns, such as drinking binge.”

Dr. Adam Scioli, an addiction psychiatrist at caron treatment centers in Pennsylvania, previously told Fox News Digital News that “alcohol is a toxin”.
“There have been reports for years that it could be health beneficial, but now we know that alcohol ingestion is one of the modifiable risk factors for cancer,” said Scioli, who is not affiliated with IARC, in Fox News Digital.

Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News Senior Medical Analyst, did not participate in the study, but spoke with Fox News Digital about findings.
“This continues with alcohol as a toxin that directly inflams and damages pancreatic cells,” he confirmed.

According to Scioli, about 75,000 north -Americans have cancer each year, which is linked to alcohol consumption, according to Scioli.
Dr. Neha Pathak, the editor of webmd chief doctors, health and lifestyle, said that the study highlights a new independent risk factor for pancreatic cancer.
“What is important to know is that there is really no safe drinking level when it comes to cancer risk,” Fox News Digital Pathak told Fox, who did not participate in research.

“This study reinforces this message, but also shows how complex are these links and how we must continue to deepen the role of alcohol and the different consumption habits in cancer development,” he added.
