  • Title: Alcohol and breast cancer risk: the alcoholism paradox.
    Author: Kuper H, Ye W, Weiderpass E, Ekbom A, Trichopoulos D, Nyrén O, Adami HO.
    Journal: Br J Cancer; 2000 Oct; 83(7):949-51. PubMed ID: 10970699.
    Abstract:
    A population-based cohort study of 36 856 women diagnosed with alcoholism in Sweden between 1965 and 1995 found that alcoholic women had only a small 15% increase in breast-cancer incidence compared to the general female population. It is therefore apparent, contrary to expectation, that alcoholism does not increase breast-cancer risk in proportion to presumed ethanol intake.
