ABC News ran a longish piece on the new Oxford alcohol-cancer study on Wednesday: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/CancerPreventionAndTreatment/story?id=6949629&page=1
Although there is lots of back-and-forth, and not very much real analysis (as is the unfortunate wont of major media outlets), I found a sentence in the last paragraph interesting, especially given who it comes from: "A small decrease in [cardiovascular] risk more than compensates for an increased risk of rare cancers," said Dr. Alan Kristal, member and associate head of the Cancer Prevention Program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
