Alcohol and cancer: genetic and nutritional aspects.

The Proceedings of the Nutrition Society - 1 Feb 2004

Pöschl Gudrun, Stickel Felix, Wang Xiang D, Seitz Helmut K

Abstract excerpt

Chronic alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for cancer of upper aero-digestive tract (oro-pharynx, hypopharynx, larynx and oesophagus), the liver, the colo-rectum and the breast. Evidence has accumulated that acetaldehyde is predominantly responsible for alcohol-associated carcinogenesis. Acetaldehyde is carcinogenic and mutagenic, binds to DNA and protein, destroys the folate molecule and results in...
