An Associated Press article reports on a new study that found that women who drink just three alcoholic beverages a week face slightly higher chances for developing breast cancer compared with teetotalers, and quotes cancer researcher Jo Freudenheim, chair of social and preventive medicine, who noted that the risks linked with alcohol are much lower than those associated with smoking and lung cancer. The article appeared in news outlets throughout the U.S. and Canada, including USA Today, CBS News, Toronto Globe and Mail, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post and NPR.
