Stopping cancer before it starts

Liver cancer

There is evidence that alcoholic drinks probably increase your risk of liver cancer.

This one of the reasons WCRF UK recommends limiting alcoholic drinks to no more than two drinks a day for a man and one for a woman.

There is also convincing evidence that aflatoxins, a fungus that can contaminate grain, are a cause of liver cancer, though this is more of a problem in the developing world.
