If I stop drinking does that decrease risk of cancer? - Lemmy.world

I’ve been drinking for 7 years. Typicall I’ve only drank 3-4 drinks a year. If I stop drinking now, would that help decrease chances of cancer? If it does will it take a long time?

3-4 drinks per year won’t affect your cancer risk. Unless you’ve been drinking radium or something.
That’s completely wrong. There’s no safe level of alcohol intake: who.int/…/04-01-2023-no-level-of-alcohol-consumpt…
No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health

The risks and harms associated with drinking alcohol have been systematically evaluated over the years and are well documented.

No safe level of sunlight by the same logic.
How much sun is good for our health?

Researchers have estimated the duration of solar radiation exposure required in order to obtain the recommended doses of vitamin D. While in spring and summer 10 to 20 minutes in the sun are enough, in the winter months almost two hours would be needed, therefore for the vast majority of the population it is difficult to achieve the optimal values. Every year, studies on the benefits of sunbathing in moderate doses are interspersed with those that confirm the risks of doing it excessively.

Literally just existing breathing is slowly killing you. I couldn’t be bothered to be scared of literally everything I do or not do in the risk it “could kill me” we all die anyways. May as well do it on your own terms.
But the WHO didn't right a report that breathing ages you (because it requires the passage of time), this risking age-related health problems and ultimate, inevitable death.
