Abstract
Epidemiologic studies have reported an increased risk of breast cancer among women who drink alcohol, including wine (1, 2) Two meta-analyses estimated a ∼10% [95% confidence interval (CI), 5-15%] increased risk of breast cancer with each additional 10 grams (∼1 drink) of alcohol/day regardless of beverage type (3, 4). Few studies have evaluated breast cancer risk separately for red and white wine (5-8). There is some evidence of beneficial health effects of red wine from laboratory (9) and epidemiologic studies of heart disease (10) and prostate cancer (11, 12). We evaluated overall alcohol as well as red and white wine consumption to examine beverage-specific effects on breast cancer.
