A 2013 study published in the International Journal of Cancer raises concerns about alcohol’s ability to throw off prostate cancer tests.

That’s all great for normal cells. But what researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center found is that antioxidants can work their magic on cancerous cells, too — turbo-charging the process by which they grow and spread.
