Alcohol and beer drinkers are highly vulnerable to colorectal cancer.
This study investigated the correlation between beer consumption and colorectal cancer risk. Researchers reviewed data obtained from 9 cohort and 12 case-control studies. They discovered a high incidence of colorectal cancer among beer and alcohol drinkers, particularly among heavy drinkers. The cancer-promoting effect of beer was found to be stronger in the rectum than in the colon. The results of this meta-analysis show that drinking of alcohol and beer may increase colorectal cancer risk.
