 |
|
Heavy beer drinkers have an increased risk of gastric cancer, especially if they possess a certain gene variant, a new study suggests.
People who drink two to three beers a day for many years have a 75 percent increased risk of gastric cancer, and those who have the gene variant called rs1230025 but aren't heavy drinkers have a 30 percent higher risk of gastric cancer, compared with people who drank less than a beer daily, the study showed.
But people who are both chronic heavy beer drinkers and possess rs1230025 have a more than 700 percent increased risk of gastric cancer compared with people who consume less than one drink a day and don't have the gene variation, said study researcher Eric Duell, a senior epidemiologist at the Catalan Institute of Oncology in Barcelona, Spain. The gene variant is common and is present in about 20 percent of the general population, he said.

I see so many of these "new study suggests _____ food/drink is not safe to eat/drink".
Virtually nothing is safe to eat/drink if you believe everything you read. |

| I've had threads 1000x more related to living in Korea deleted by mods. Probably 1000x more interesting too. |

They add chemical preservatives, things like glycerin and formalydehyde. Thus the nasty-ass taste. |

I get the worst hangovers with Korean and Taiwanese / Chinese beer. Thai beer, Singha and Chang, are crap, too. However, Japanese Beer, like Asahi, if I stick to it and don't drink any dai-san-biru or happoshu, doesn't give me much of a hangover. Some say the quality of the water is the reason since the Japanese use better water. Others say that Taiwanese, Chinese, Thai and Korean breweries use formaldehydes and other chemicals in their beers, thus the wicked hangovers and bad taste.
I just bought an 18 year old bottle of Glenfiddich and will see how that goes down tonight. |
