COCKTAILS for OUR KIDNEYS

IN
GENERAL, people
with kidney problems are advised to stay away from alcohol.
But according to a recent Swedish study, drinking wine or
beer may actually reduce the risk of kidney cancer.
Researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm
surveyed 855 kidney cancer patients and a control group of
12O4 people. The study found that people who drink 22 ounces
of alcohol a week are 4O percent less likely to develop
kidney cancer. Professor Alicja Wolk said consuming at least
two glasses of red wine each week – or the equivalent of
white wine or beer – appears to have a beneficial effect.
The results were published in the british journal of
cancer.
