Recent finding from the EPIC study in England were recently released by the World Cancer Research in connection with the American Cancer Society.

This subject was presented at the recent vegetarian congress with interest as everyone is interested in preventing cancer. The findings showed a definite correlation between alcohol usage and cancer, particularly cancer of the mouth, throat, esophegus, colorectal cancer and breast.

A wise man once shared this admonition against the use of alcohol, “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” (Proverbs 20:1). This same wise man even showed the effect on alcohol on the mental capacities and judgement, “It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.” (Proverbs 31:4-5).

To avoid alcohol and prevent cancer is important. But, since most cases of auto accidents and domestic violence involve alcohol it just may be that avoiding alcohol can save more lives than your own. Be wise.
