Study Suggests Tumor Growth Aided by Alcohol
A study done by researchers at the University of Mississippi of alcohol consumption's affect on tumors in mice shows that alcohol may increase tumor growth. The mice were given the equivalent of 2-4 glasses of alcohol and injected with melanoma. The mice that had the alcohol had tumors about twice as heavy as the control group after about 4 weeks. The alcohol caused increased levels of a growth factor that aids tumor growth, as well as an increases in micro-vessels.

What does it say about people who spend their days injecting mice with melanoma?
