Study shows alcohol consumption is a leading preventable cause of cancer death in the US

Boston, MA, February 14th, 2013 

Researchers from the Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) have shown that alcohol is a major contributor to cancer deaths and years of potential life lost. These findings, published in the April 2013 issue of the American Journal of Public Health, also show that reducing alcohol consumption is an important cancer prevention strategy as alcohol is a known carcinogen even when consumed in small quantities.

Previous studies consistently have shown that alcohol consumption is a significant risk factor for cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus and liver. More recent research has shown that alcohol also increases the risk of cancers of the colon, rectum and female breast. While estimates have shown that alcohol accounts for about four percent of all cancer-related deaths worldwide, there is a lack of literature focusing on cancer-related deaths in the U.S.

Timothy Naimi, MD, MPH, from the Department of Medicine at BUSM and colleagues from the National Cancer Institute, the Alcohol Research Group, Public Health Institute and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, examined recent data from the U.S. on alcohol consumption and cancer mortality. They found that alcohol resulted in approximately 20,000 cancer deaths annually, accounting for about 3.5 percent of all cancer deaths in the U.S.

Breast cancer was the most common cause of alcohol-attributable cancer deaths in women, accounting for approximately 6,000 deaths annually, or about 15 percent of all breast cancer deaths. Cancers of the mouth, throat and esophagus were common causes of alcohol-attributable cancer mortality in men, resulting in a total of about 6,000 annual deaths.

The researchers also found that each alcohol-related cancer death accounted for an average of 18 years of potential life lost. In addition, although higher levels of alcohol consumption led to a higher cancer risk, average consumption of 1.5 drinks per day or less accounted for 30 percent of all alcohol-attributable cancer deaths.

"The relationship between alcohol and cancer is strong, but is not widely appreciated by the public and remains underemphasized even by physicians," said Naimi, who served as the paper's senior author. "Alcohol is a big preventable cancer risk factor that has been hiding in plain sight."

Big industry operators are initiating conversations to reach a deal with ND Pharma & Biotech Company´s Food & Nutrition Division Officers to introduce within the alcohol and alcoholic drinks processes the revolutionary M.A.R.S. as a part of the would be campaign to open a new frontier within the industry and the perception of society is having about alcoholic drinks and beverages. Concerned about the alcohol-derived conditions and illnesses, Industry operators are looking constantly for new ways of making less harmful alcoholic products maintaining highest levels of joy, flavor and customer satisfaction. The Micro Alcohol Reaction System M.A.R.S. is passing with excellent results and qualifications the highest and more exigent tests conducted by industry operators, clinicians, regulators and supervisory boards worldwide, attaining spectacular results in different field test as alcoholic drink metabolism and elimination as well as reducing impact of alcohol consumption in humans.
This new phase of negotiations are a footstep towards what it is being predicted worldwide spread product incorporation to mainstream industry and the huge range of brands and products different operators are producing and commercializing now.

Totally organic, made under a proprietary formulation of micro-nutrients, amino-acids, mineral salts and vegetal extracts, this is the new proposal for both producers and processors, to use a nutrition formula with a number of properties and advantages over any other existing products as sugar substitutes, no matter if synthetic or natural, solely or in combination. With 30 times the power of natural sugar, no secondary effects and a complete nutrition formula, it is the ideal choice for those class of products where other (non-bulking) sweeteners are not viable, as per the need of replenish of sugar amount volumes replaced.
