饮酒被视为引发癌症的主要原因之一。近来,英国科学家发现,四分之一的人有可以减少酒精危害的基因,这有助于人们进一步理解癌症的发病机制以及这类基因产生的蛋白质如何帮助身体清除毒素。然而,这并不意味对嗜酒者大开绿灯,危险仍然存在;为了预防癌症,饮酒一定要有节制。 Drinking is considered one of the main causes of cancer. Recently, British scientists have discovered that a quarter of people have genes that can reduce the harm of alcohol. This helps people to further understand the pathogenesis of cancer and how the proteins produced by these genes help the body to remove toxins. However, this does not mean that the alcoholics are given a green light and the danger remains. To prevent cancer, drinking must be temperate.
