Drinking alcohol is harmful to health, people who believe that consumption of alcohol in certain quantities does not have adverse effects on health, they should be careful, because any amount of alcohol can cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. It itself has issued a warning in this regard.
American biologist Raymond Pearl had written a book on alcohol and emphasized that if alcohol is consumed in a certain quantity daily, it keeps the heart healthy. This book, based on several patient case histories, was published in 1926. Which became the basis for the belief among alcohol drinkers that if only two pegs are consumed daily then it is a medicine. Alcohol drinkers often make the same argument, but is it really so?
Recent research reports of scientists do not agree with this. Defying the theory of biologist Raymond Pearl, research says that the health benefits were not the effect of alcohol, those people were physically healthy, so alcohol did not harm them. Because daily consumption of alcohol definitely causes heart disease. This research of scientists has been given place in JAMA Network and Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease. It also tells how stopping alcohol consumption is beneficial from health point of view.
How does alcohol harm the body?
According to a research published in Nature Journal, drinking alcohol increases the risk of about two hundred diseases in a person. According to a research, after any amount of alcohol enters the body, it first affects the brain cells, it affects the memory, due to mixing in the blood, it affects the immunity of the body, this increases the risk of Klebsiella pneumonia. Which is harmful for the lungs. It has also been said in this research that drinking alcohol in any quantity can cause cancer. The World Health Organization has warned about this.
