URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — If you’re a woman who enjoys a drink — researchers say you might be increasing your chance for breast cancer.

What’s new is the level of drinking that can increase your risk. A food science professor at the University of Illinois said this link has been in the data for a while but is now gaining attention because of the surgeon general’s warnings against alcohol.

“That’s one standard drink a day, which is like one kind of beer or one glass of like six ounces of wine or one shot of a hard liquor. All that contains one standard drink of alcohol. Just having one a day, it increases the risk to like by 10% for breast cancer in women compared to women who do not drink alcohol at all,” Food Science Professor Yanina Pepino said.

Pepino said the best way to limit risk is to not drink at all. But if you do, have one standard drink a day at most.
