Malt Whiskey as Cancer Preventative

YES!

Well, maybe. Not exactly a study proven statement, but maybe it does follow since the chemical in red wine [ellagic acid] that is claimed to help in cancer prevention.

Of course, the spokesman of Cancer Research UK is nay saying this and states soft fruit would be a better source. Funny though that wine is ok, but whiskey is still deemed in a bad light.

I think the real question to be asked is "What doesn't improve with alcohol?" Because, really, a good beer or a cold vodka martini is pretty much the answer to most problems in life. If we get a little cancer protection along with it, bonus!
