Drinking reduces the risk of renal cancer
Source: Science Daily
This is sweet news for those who drink. Researchers have found out that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol reduces the risk of renal cancer. This has been found from tests conducted on 12 people.
The test conducted revealed that alcohol consumption reduced the risk by about 30 percent and that it didn't vary between the type of alcohol comsumed e.g. wine, whisky and beer.
But then the researchers also warned that this is not the way to keep renal cancer at bay since alcohol consumption increases the risk of oesophagal cancer, liver, colon and rectum. So the best way to keep cancer at bay is to lead a healthy life style and abstain from smoking. This also reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

I wonder if it is because alcohol is a diaeretic keeping the kidneys flushed. Perhaps since that would promote circulation and cell growth in the kidneys, free radicals and other assorted nasties would not have time to hang around. Of course that would depend on the individual nutritional intake. And water intake.
So many factors.
You have a valid point there free thinker. But then, I think its bad effects are much more higher than its benefits.
