Moderate alcohol consumption may actually help to reduce the risk of kidney cancer, scientists have suggested.
A study by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm looked at the association between different types of alcoholic beverages and the risk of kidney cancer.
Their research involved 855 subjects with kidney cancer and 1,204 'control' patients who were cancer-free.
According to Dr Alicia Wolk, participants who drank 620g of ethanol per month were 40 per cent less likely to develop kidney cancer than those who consumed no alcohol.
They concluded that drinking the equivalent of two glasses of red wine per week was associated with a 40 per cent reduction in kidney cell cancer risk, and similar trends were observed for white wine and strong beer.
However, there did not appear to be an association between drinking light beer, medium-strong beer, strong wine or hard liquor and kidney cancer risk.
Publishing their findings in the British Journal of Cancer, the researchers commented: "A reduced risk associated with consumption of wine and beer might be due to the phenolics they contain as these possess antioxidant and anti-mutagenic properties.
"However, the lower risk that we observed for three different alcoholic beverages and total ethanol intake suggests that alcohol itself rather than a particular type of drink is responsible for the reduction in risk."
