Women who drink a large glass of wine a day are increasing their risk of breast cancer by a quarter, a study warned last night.

Their chance of developing liver or rectal cancer increases by the same amount, the survey of more than a million middle-aged women found.

Does it seem like everyday we are being told about all the good things we can no longer enjoy guilt free?

    • it does seem like every day there is a new scientific study telling us what we can't do and what's going to give us cancer. I think I'll go by the study that says red wine is good for you

    • Keep in mind the Sun, the very thing that allows life on this planet to begin with... causes cancer. We're all dying, just at different rates. Enjoy the time you have, and do the best you can with what ya got. To be alive is a gift in and of itself. A long life means nothing if you don't live it.

    • I don't know anymore.I am 70 myears old and in the past I was told that smoking cigarettes was benificiary,ballpoint ink on the skin caused cancer and so did chewing gum,eating milk chocolate,drinking coffee,eating red meat ,more than one egg a day,spinach,alcohol.It's a miracle I'm still alife,I should have died from starvation or cancer long ago for there's hardly any food that isn't or wasn't considered to be fatal if eaten.So I would not be surprised at all to hear sooner or later,that this story was premature and outdated.

    • Seriously? How is anyone supposed to be able to enjoy a nice bottle, er, glass of wine with all of these conflicting reports? Is it good? Is it bad? Do I care?
