Moderate red wine consumption was associated with a reduced incidence of lung cancer, especially among smokers. Smokers who drank at least one glass of red wine a day had 60% lower chance of getting lung cancer than nondrinking smokers.
Of course, this comes with two very important points:
1. If you REALLY wanted to reduce your risk of lung-cancer, QUIT SMOKING! (If you already have, or never started, kudos to you!)
2. Don't go overboard with this study. It's only showing a link and not certain causality, and it definitely doesn't condone excessive drinking. Remember: the study said moderate red wine consumption.
3. The study didn't show the same benefits from drinking white wines or beers unfortunately.
Be sure to check out the other benefits of red wine as well!
There are tons of em.
