Hi all,
I'm curious. I've heard (and read) conflicting reports on alcohol and its consumption causing throat cancer. So these are my three questions:
1) Does it cause throat cancer?
2) If the above question is answered with "yes", is it limited only to heavy, daily drinking
3) Is it more dangerous than smoking in regarding to inducing throat cancer?
My GP stated that alcohol can cause throat cancer, but I'm not sure whether it's a veiled attempt by him to curb me from drinking, as he knows I'm worried about throat cancer as I used to be a smoker.
Thanks BLers!
