Research on the impact of wine consumption on cancer risk is ongoing. A recent meta-analysis found no overall association between wine consumption and cancer risk but indicated that white wine may increase the risk of skin cancer and cancer in women.

An analysis of 42 studies found no significant difference in cancer risk between red and white wine. However, in cohort studies, white wine was linked to a higher cancer risk. Among women, white wine consumption was associated with an increased cancer risk, and it raised the likelihood of skin cancer by 22%.

Researchers note that alcohol generally increases cancer risk, and differences between red and white wine may be influenced by demographic and behavioral factors. While red wine contains more resveratrol, this did not lead to a reduced cancer risk.

Conclusion: There is no safe alcohol regarding cancer prevention. White wine may be worse in some cases, but red wine is not significantly healthier. Further research is needed.
