Red wine or white? Which one is worse for cancer risk?

A recent meta-analysis examined the impact of red and white wine on cancer risk, revealing that while neither type of wine showed a clear link to overall cancer risk, white wine was associated with an increased risk for certain types of cancer. Specifically, white wine consumption was linked to a higher risk of skin cancer, with women experiencing an increased risk for general cancer. The study found that while red wine has antioxidants like resveratrol, which may offer some protective benefits, the rapid metabolism of resveratrol in the body may reduce its effectiveness. The research also suggests that lifestyle factors, such as alcohol consumption and sleep patterns, could contribute to the observed cancer risks, and highlights the need for more research on site-specific cancers and the mechanisms behind these effects.
