Study links 1 drink a day to increased cancer risk

A new study links having just one drink a day to an increased risk of dying from a number of cancers. So, what do we take from this study? Let's bring in Dr. Mike this morning. Good morning, good to see you. Good morning, and we need the specifics on this. Like, what kind of cancers are we talking about? Does this matter by age? Well, it's more concerning for younger people, 20 to 54 folks, and so the thing is for women, it's breast cancer, all right, and for men, colon cancer. Now, here's the thing, all right, it affects estrogen hormone levels in the body, and I always tell my women who have had a history of breast cancer, look, alcohol is really not a good thing to do. Look, there's no safe level of alcohol, and that's why the young people are going more towards mocktails. God bless them. They're doing a lot better job than prior generations. So, does it matter? Does it matter if it's a glass of beer? Why do we hear sometimes, you know, red wine is good for us? Well, yeah, look, everything is about the amount. The alcohol gets converted into carcinogenic things, so it gets converted. Alcohol gets converted into acetaldehyde, and that can cause DNA damage, and like I said, it changes hormonal things in the body, so you got to be judicious. Is that why you ask us how many drinks a week we have, and I always lie to you? Well, you're not alone. A lot of people lie to their health care providers because they don't want to admit, but look, I don't want to be anybody's personal Oppenheimer, you know, destroyer of worlds, especially on Labor Day, because a lot of picnics today and stuff. Look, everybody's got to try to find their way. So, I just want to make sure, because I thought it was, if you're older, it affects you more. You're saying for the younger people? Right, right. According to the data, people between 20 and 54 actually were somewhat at higher risk. Well, there you go. Well, the information, what did you say, Rose? Oh, the information I saw said it was 55 and older is a higher death rate for cancer deaths than 20 to 54. We'll have to double-check that, because I thought it was more risky for younger people, and you're seeing a lot of people with colon drinking, no matter what. Yeah. No matter what. Alright, everything once again in moderation. Yeah, everything in moderation. I want to talk about this popular supplement that's possibly linked to a shorter lifespan. What is that? Yeah, tyrosine. You see it in a lot of supplements. It's for mental acuity, mental sharpness, all of that. Bottom line is that it's been linked, only in men, with a year less of life. Now, what are we doing there? We're looking at, yeah, we're kind of jumping ahead. We're looking at hair loss. Yeah, this is the GLPs. We'll get to it in just a second. Yeah, we're going to get to that in a minute. The bottom line is... Can we redo this whole adult segment? This is what happens when we labor on Labor Day. Let's just get it together. Okay. Alright, let's settle down. Now I'm stressed out. No, don't be stressed. Yeah, we don't know what's going on. No, I'll tell you what's going on. Alright, tyrosine supplements. Alright, they did a big study. They looked, it was a study where they found that there may be a possible link with shorter lifespan. May have to do with insulin resistance and all of that. Look, if you're out there and you're taking In men. Yeah, but that's... Okay. What? No, yes. All right. In men. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, and then he said, I'm looking at you and I wasn't looking, you're sitting right next to me. much but look at the box. What is your problem? What is this? You got there? Can we show the graphic? Oh, okay. Can we show the maybe show that the scary the the thing with today? The camera was on. Oh my god. Wait, where's the where's the cat? Is the human mouth supposed to open that large? Here's the uvula. That's what we're talking about today. Who's screaming in the background? That's the thing, right? Yeah, let me take this. Oh god. Let me let me do this. You see that thing hanging in the back of your throat? Alright, right there folks. That's the uvula. That's the uvula. Uh huh. What does it do? Well, it helps you swallow and it doesn't have when you swallow, food doesn't go up into your nose. Alright, that's number one. It also produces saliva. Oh. How do you like that? Why don't you say it so seductively? I don't know. What the heck? I don't know. Oh my god. Next Labor Day, no medical segment. No, that's not true. You deserve it. Take a day off. Take a day off. I'm giving you I'm not taking any time off. Prescription to take a day off. We're grateful for you. Oh, I love you guys. Oh, that does not look good. Yeah, I kind of feel like this. Yeah, wait a minute here. Here's my
