Wow, I did not know that. I just researched it and I was blown away. I assume the sugar in alchol also doesn’t help.

It has been known as long as knowing that everything causes cancer.

I’m looking for the documentation of the earliest point, but I have heard and read for decades? that it causes many kinds of cancer.
