Does Alcohol Cause Cancer?

Buckle up for today’s episode with The Oncology Dietician, Nichole Andrews.

I like having cocktails with girlfriends. And before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I never gave it a second thought. Alcohol was part of my social life, or I’d have a glass of wine on a flight to chill out.

Recent research has made me rethink my choices. Research shared by the Susan G. Komen Center tells us that each cocktail I consume can increase my breast cancer risk by 7%. And 2-3 drinks per day can increase my risk by 20%.

I work too damn hard on my health to increase my breast cancer risk by 20% for something I often do mindlessly.

Does this mean I don’t drink any alcohol? NOPE.

This means that if I really want that glass of wine, I will make an informed decision and enjoy every sip.

The “old” me would have grabbed the wine and probably a second glass without considering what it might be doing inside my body.

According to today’s guest, she believes there are only two things that we consume that can really increase our risk of getting cancer.

Alcohol is one. Any guesses as to what number two is?

Just Add Buoy

Companies contact me every week, asking me to try their products.

Honestly, I get food and supplement samples almost weekly!

Last week, a San Diego company called Just Add Buoy emailed me to ask if I wanted to try their electrolyte formula.

I said yes because I’ve been looking for an electrolyte formula (without tons of sugar, both fake and real and no dyes) for years.

They sent me some samples, and I must tell you how much I love them.

I’m trying the Hydration Drops, and they have 87 trace minerals, Ionic ocean electrolytes, and antioxidants. And, also important to me, NO SUGAR (FAKE OR REAL), NO ADDITIVES OR DYES. And it’s non-GMO.

I like that it’s flavorless, and I can add it to a smoothie or even my morning coffee without noticing any flavor change.

AirDoctor

I’ve been using the AirDoctor air purifier for almost a year and absolutely love it! I first heard about it from Dr. Mark Hyman, and even though it was a bit of a splurge compared to what I usually spend, I’m so glad I invested. Every time I change the filter and see all the gunk it collects, I smile, knowing it’s doing a great job keeping my air clean!

And I’m so happy that all that gunk isn’t going into my body 😉
