Re: Alcohol intake

I was told that there have really been no conclusive findings that diet has been linked to bc. Alcohol intake plays a role in everyones life but has not been totally linked to cancer. It only makes sense to drink moderately with our without cancer. Pretty much how it was summed up for me. I drink a glass of wine now and then and on a rare occassion a beer even while in treatment. Was told red wine is the healthiest for us. Good question.
