Breast cancer recurrence / metastasis and alcohol

Women who have had a diagnosis of breast cancer (particularly those who have had oestrogen-positive breast cancer) are advised to stick to no more than 5 units of alcohol a week by the World Cancer Research Fund.

Note: 1 glass of wine (175 ml) is about 2.3 units. So that is only 2 glasses of wine a week. Yikes!

For more info on recent evidence explained by Dr Liz O'Riordan (see link).
