Once again, the scientific community in the USA has turned its attention to studying alcohol. More precisely, the consequences after consuming alcoholic beverages. Americans claim that alcohol increases the risk of cancer. Moreover, the disease does not develop at the genetic level. And not because of liver function impairments. Scientists assert that changes begin in the oral microbiome. The throat, esophagus, and stomach are at risk for alcohol enthusiasts.
Notably, the experiments involved elderly people aged 55 to 90 years. The subjects were divided into groups. 25% of participants consumed alcohol for the first time. 60% drank moderately, and 15% were avid alcohol consumers.
Alcohol increases cancer risk
After consuming alcoholic beverages, scientists took oral swabs and conducted studies. The result was the appearance of bacteria that damage the gums and oral cavity. American microbiologists assert that parasites are the first warning sign of cancer cell formation in the body.
US scientists are considering continuing the experiment to find out how pathogenic bacteria develop in the oral cavity. The reaction of the project participants is of interest. After all, essentially, people will give consent to infect their own bodies with a deadly disease. American researchers plan to create an additional group of test subjects who will be deprived of access to alcohol. There is an opinion that the body will recover and eliminate bacteria in the oral cavity on its own.
Alcohol is the cause of family breakdowns!
It was known at the end of the last millennium that alcohol increases cancer risk. However, the issue was not raised to the national level. The result was daily drinking among men in friendly groups after work and women’s preference for vermouth and wine. Alcohol is destructive to living organisms.
Evidence was presented in the 1920s in the USA. It was then that Prohibition was introduced in America. Over 13 years, the states boosted their economy and brought hundreds of scientists into the light. But someone benefits from a healthy society. And the world again fell into alcohol dependence.
