That's just what I said. That alcohol is what does you in. NONE of the people that I knew that died from esophageal cancer had GERD or reflux. They just drink too much. Here's something from the cancer center........
Esophageal cancer prevention Esophageal cancer can sometimes be associated with known risk factors for the disease. Many risk factors are modifiable though not all can be avoided.
Tobacco, alcohol and diet Esophageal cancer is associated with carcinogens (substances that cause cancer) and is strongly associated with tobacco and alcohol use. A diet that is deficient in certain nutrients such as fruits and vegetables appears to be associated with esophageal cancer risk.
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Some studies have shown that the use of aspirin is associated with a reduced risk of esophageal cancer.
