研究表明 白葡萄酒會增加患前列腺癌的風險大綱

Drinking one glass of white wine a day raises the risk of prostate cancer by a quarter, a new research suggests.

一項最新研究表明，每天喝一杯白葡萄酒會使患前列腺癌的風險增加四分之一。

But a daily red wine appears to slash the chance of developing the disease by an eighth.

但是每天喝一杯紅酒似乎能讓患此病的機率降低八分之一。

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna analyzed the boozing habits and medical records of 611,169 men taken from 17 previous studies.

維也納醫科大學的研究人員分析了611169名男性的飲酒習慣和醫療記錄，這些數據來自之前的17項研究。

They found one glass of wine a day made no difference to the prostate cancer risk when pooling all varieties of grape.

他們發現，每天喝一杯混合釀製的葡萄酒不會影響患前列腺癌的風險。

But after separating them by color, white was linked to a 26 percent increased likelihood and red a 12 percent cut.

但用顏色區分後，白葡萄酒會增加26%的患前列腺癌的可能，而紅葡萄酒則會減少12%。

The team believes the resveratrol in the skin of red grapes has cancer-fighting properties which may counteract the harm of alcohol. There are around ten times as much of this in red as white.

該研究小組認爲，紅葡萄皮中的白藜蘆醇具有抗癌作用，可以抵消酒精的危害。紅葡萄酒中的白藜蘆醇大約是白葡萄酒的十倍。

Dr. Iain Frame, from Prostate Cancer UK, said: "We would not recommend that anyone changes their drinking habits based on these results alone. Instead, it's important all men maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and limited alcohol consumption."

來自英國前列腺癌組織的伊恩·格瑞斯醫生表示：“我們不建議任何人僅僅依據這些結果就改變他們的飲酒習慣。相反，所有男性保持健康的生活方式，均衡飲食和少量飲酒纔是重要的。”

A previous study found drinking beer may increase the risk of prostate cancers by 37 percent. It is the most common cancer in men, with one in eight suffering from the condition during their lifetime.

此前的一項研究發現，喝啤酒可能會使患前列腺癌的風險增加37%。前列腺癌是男性最常見的癌症，有八分之一的男性會患上這種疾病。
