Making an extremely strange but promising claim, a recently concluded study, which was carried out by researchers from Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, has claimed that regular consumption of alcohol spikes up the odds catching breast cancer, save for the red wine which, as per the researchers, can potentially proffer opposite consequences when taken in temperance.

During the course of the study, which has been made available in the Journal of Women's Health, the researchers gave explanation that the seed chemicals as well as the skin of red grapes can indeed prove effective in moderately reducing the levels of estrogen and spiking up the levels of testosterone hormones among females going through premenopausal stage, as can therefore result in chopping down their chances of falling prey to breast cancer.

The authors stressed on the fact that the red grape, especially its skin, is the most beneficial compound in red wine, and cleared the fact that it's not just about consuming red wine. They recommend that females should think about going for red wine at the time of preferring an alcoholic beverage for consumption, instead of cheering wine over grapes.

This study clearly said the opposite to an age-old and widespread faith that consuming any sort of alcoholic drink tends to spike up a woman's odds of falling prey to breast cancer, since alcohol tends to increase estrogen levels, which sequentially inspire the progression of cancer cells.

While expressing her opinion regarding the benefits of red wine when consumed in moderation by women, Chrisandra Shufelt, the co-lead of the study, asserted: "If you were to have a glass of wine with dinner, you may want to consider a glass of red. Switching may shift your risk".
