New evidence shows that drinking alcohol is the greatest risk factor for acetaldehyde-related cancer. Heavy drinkers may be at increased risk due to exposure from multiple sources. The research team ...

Drinking alcohol increases the risk of four types of cancer in the mouth and upper digestive tract: oral, pharyngeal (throat), laryngeal (voice box) and oesophageal. The mouth, throat and oesophagus ...

Acetaldehyde is the first and principal metabolite of ethanol administered systemically. To its rise in blood, after administration of disulfiram, is ascribed the aversive reaction that should ...

The tide has largely turned against alcohol. Drinking, at least in moderation, was once seen as a harmless—or even healthy—indulgence that could strengthen your heart and even lengthen your lifespan.
