Drinking just a small glass of wine a day can more than double the risk of cancer, a study claims.

It says that consuming just one 125ml glass of wine increases the chance of developing mouth and throat cancer by 168 per cent.

Other cancers are also more likely to strike regular drinkers, the study by France's National Cancer Institute (INCA) reports.

Dominique Maraninchi, INCA's president, said: 'Small daily doses of alcohol are the most harmful. There is no amount, however small, which is good for you.'

The findings go against previous research, which has found that the antioxidants in red wine can actually reduce the risk of cancer.

All generalizations are false.

If drinking just one glass of wine a day can cause cancer, the obvious solution is to drink at least two glasses a day.

This makes sense. I drink socially, probably once or twice a week with work but that being said one has to be an idiot to think it is good for you in a general sense. Regardless of how good the component parts may be good for you it is the alcohol that is clearly not.

The vast majority of Democrats are fools.

If “All generalizations are false” then THAT statement is false also, since the statement itself is a generalization.

canser = cancer.

The word looked strange, but I couldn’t figure what it was until now.

Life causes cancer.
Screw it and pass the wine.

I’m not going to live forever anyway.

I’ve seen little old ladies smoke cigarettes until they are 110 years old.

Then people like my friend who was always a health nut eating broccoli, green tea and only healthy stuff and she got cancer.

Screw it.
Live it up.
Drink wine.

Funny thing about life,
Nobody gets out alive.

“Everything in moderation is fine...”
****

Wouldn’t it be better to say “ A moderate number of things in moderation is fine...”? (Murder in moderation is probably not fine, nor is poison in moderation...)

Probably from the diethylene glycol they've been caught using.
