Can drinking white wine resist cancer? Stop it!

Recently, a [major research result] on liquor was circulated on WeChat, which made many liquor lovers shine at the moment:

The article said:

Liquor contains non-volatile lipopeptide compounds, which have anti-cancer, anti-virus, anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation effects. This proves the special health value of liquor from modern scientific means and has a very positive impact on the whole industry.

Can drinking white wine resist cancer? Is this a major medical discovery or an exaggerated marketing?

Liquor contains anticancer substances ≠ Drinking liquor can anticancer

To do anything, we need to weigh the pros and cons.

The WeChat article said that it is not surprising that liquor contains anti-cancer substances.

Liquor is a complex mixture with complex components and some beneficial active substances, which is normal. However, this is completely different from drinking liquor to resist cancer.

If researchers analyze sewage from sewers, they can also find various beneficial active ingredients. But why doesn’t anyone drink sewage? Because there is more dross than essence in it.

Besides, it is not pleasant to say that there are more anti-cancer active substances in feces!

Intestinal tract contains a large number of probiotics, which are very important to health and immunity. They can really resist cancer and virus. In order to live a long life, do you want to drink [health wine] and have some [health excrement]?

Of course not! Because no matter how many probiotics there are, no one will eat excrement, because there are more dross than essence in it, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

The same is true of white wine. Drinking is not good for health, not because there is no good ingredient in it, but because the overall disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Drinking alcohol actually increases the risk of cancer.

Many people have heard of the saying that drinking is good for health and that health wine has special effects.

But in fact, whether it is French wine, Scotch whisky, Japanese sake, or Chinese white wine… should drink less.

The reason is very simple, no matter how many beneficial active substances there are in various wines, their most important ingredient is always: alcohol

As far as health is concerned, the harm of alcohol is far greater than any possible benefit from other active substances. All kinds of alcohol, like cigarettes, are grade 1 carcinogens.

Moreover, compared with Europeans and Americans, most Chinese should not drink, especially those who drink well.

Because these people are born with acetaldehyde dehydrogenase gene defects, drinking alcohol is more likely to accumulate acetaldehyde, a strong carcinogen, in the body, and the surface symptom is blushing.

Drinking on the face, to put it bluntly, is actually acetaldehyde poisoning.

China is the hardest hit area for digestive tract cancers such as liver cancer and esophageal cancer. Apart from infectious factors and genetic factors, drinking is also closely related.

Alcohol can be drunk, but don’t use [health] as an excuse.

Although drinking is harmful to health, it does not mean that you cannot drink any wine. It is good not to overdo anything. It is nothing for adults to drink some wine occasionally. I also drink it occasionally.

Wine is actually similar to cola-obviously not good for health, but everyone just likes to drink it.

On the one hand, alcohol can make people feel happy and relaxed.

On the other hand, it is because China has always had a wine table culture, and many times it is really necessary to drink.

However, in order to market and distort the facts, it is too much to insist that drinking can preserve one’s health and encourage people to drink.

With this effort, businesses might as well develop some liquor with low alcohol content but still very fragrant, which may really stand out. Just like Coke never said it was a health-preserving Coke, but developed low-sugar Coke and sugar-free Coke.

As for the so-called anti-cancer ingredients in liquor, if they really have very good effects, they should be purified and developed into drugs or health care products, instead of encouraging people to drink more.

Just as we should try our best to extract probiotics from the intestinal tract and make capsules for patients to eat, instead of simply and roughly giving patients a lump of [health excrement].
