In the case of rectal cancer, the risk can be <strong>almost double<\/strong>.\n\nThe data also indicates that maintaining a <strong>high and constant consumption during adulthood<\/strong> further increases the chances of developing this disease. Conversely, those who reduce or stop alcohol consumption have a <strong>lower probability of developing precancerous polyps<\/strong> in the colon.\n\nResearchers explain that this increased risk could be related to substances generated during alcohol metabolism in the intestine, as well as alterations in the intestinal flora.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-96.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-600315\" style=\"width:596px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We recommend reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/nacionales\/mas-de-50-menores-intoxicaron\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More than 50 minors were poisoned by alcohol at Christmas and New Year<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\nColorectal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer and usually develops from precancerous polyps, so adopting <strong>healthy lifestyle habits<\/strong>, including moderation in alcohol consumption, is essential for its prevention.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent study warns that excessive alcohol consumption throughout life is associated with a higher risk of developing colon and rectal cancer.
