Whiskey can help prevent/kill cancer cells?

[bigred]

Heard on the radio today but can't find a link. Anyone have anything?

OK time to go home and get soused. Medicinal purposes yknow.

Anyone have anything?

Hmmm... would have to see that one, because there is a fairly strong association of alcohol with certain cancers, namely of the liver and GI tract.

TT,

How Alcohol is related to gastric acid or bile imbalance(?), alcoholic keto-acidosis, iron & other minerals absorption in GIT, iron deposition in liver....?

Can you tell me effect of taking alcohol on mucus production/clearance in GIT?

I'm pretty sure that if you poured whiskey on cancer cells, they would die.

Whisky/whiskey (Gaelic usquebaugh, "water of life") uses many silcate/mucous productions. Private/public intercourses with masses has given/taken away large bulbous dilutions of the water.

I want the name brand, but my medical co-pay wants me to get the generic. I'm sure it is quite effective, but it tastes nasty.

I think the amount taken has something to do with it

It always does. This is also known as the "dose-response" relationship.

I believe whiskey contains more anti-oxidants than red wine. But so do other things like soft fruits.
What you guys should really do is take some E's.
