Regular drinkers were reported to face a higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer. A new research was reported to have found that individuals who consume more than one alcoholic drink daily face a higher risk of developing six types of cancer.
I thought cancer was developed when you age? Or if your ancestral line had it?! Or if you had issues with your immune systems which basically includes people who have had organ transplants and take drugs to stop organ rejection, have HIV or AIDS or born with rare medical syndromes that affect their immunity. Or viruses or bacterial infection?! Well, that's what Cancer Research UK informed?!
I researched it of course and I found a few findings.
NIAAA states that a strong association exists between alcohol use and cancers of the esophagus, pharynx, and mouth, whereas a more controversial association links alcohol with liver, breast, and colorectal cancers.
Okay, so it's been proven to be true that drinkers face greater cancer risk. I never knew that but now I know. Shouldn't I be extra cautious now when I drink too much alcohol?
In this article analyzed upon, research was done to have found 3571 participants – all men ages 35 to 70, but what about the women?! How can a story only include a study that was done on men and assume that it happens to everyone?! It may work differently on women though.
Moreover, the study was done in 1980 and released in a Journal recently and that's not of high news value. It shows that the journalist of this article is merely taking facts from a Canadian Study stated in the Journal "Cancer Detection and Prevention" and not putting much effort unto finding real facts from real people in Australia to prove this fact. No cases in Australia have been proven like say a source who proved that she drank too much alcohol that caused her a high risk of being diagnosed with cancer!!!
I do not call this news. I call this a fact-given story. Surely no one may not have known that regular drinks face a higher risk of cancer. It's new and because of that, is regarded as news to the public. But, still news value seem really low and I simply disagree that this article should be published otherwise.
Sorry to say, I call this a fact-given story that deserves more improvement if it was to be published. Everything was based on studies. I could find the facts myself through that journal. What difference does it make?!
