Wine: A Glass A Day Can Reduce Risk Of Esophageal Cancer
2009-03-08 00:17:00 Esophageal cancer is the fastest growing cancer in the U.S. today. In thirty years, esophageal cancer has grown 500 percent! But the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research has discovered that certain diets and a glass of wine can curtail the risk of a precursor to esophageal cancer, called Barrett?s Esophagus.

Obesity linked to elevated risk of esophageal cancer
2007-10-12 09:03:00 FoodConsumer.orgBy David LiuObese people are more likely to develop cancer of the gullet than those with a normal body weight, a new study finds. But the finding does not mean that obesity is the cause of the disease. The study published in the British journal Gut looked at 793 people with esophageal cancer and 1,580 controls matched for age and residence location. The study found people with a body mass index of 40 or higher were six times more at risk than those with a BMI between 18.5 and 25, which is normal by definition. Those with obesity and acid reflux were 16 times more likely to have the disease. The association was still significant even after other factor such as smoking and alcohol consumption were taken into account. In obese people, high levels of insulin boost production of insulin-like growth factor which is known to stimulate cell growth and inhibits apoptosis, programmed deaths of cells. Both may increase the cancer risk. But further research is needed to confirm ...
