A new research has offered strength to the previous findings that says drinking in moderate amounts is linked with a lower risk of kidney cancer that may affect about 1percent of the general population.
In published prospective cohort studies, the risk of such form of cancer among moderate drinkers is nearly 25 percent less than the risk observed in non-drinkers.
This well-done meta-analysis provides a fillip to these studies: for the more-reliable prospective cohort studies (rather than case-control studies) the current study observed a 29 percent lower risk for subjects in the highest category of alcohol consumption as compared with subjects in the lowest alcohol category.
The findings of the research apply equally to men and women, and for all types of alcohol beverages.
The effects of the alcohol are observed at a level of about one drink per day, with little further reduction in risk for greater alcohol consumption.
