Over-consumption of alcohol linked is to cancer. Almost 10% of all cancers in men and 3% in women in Western Europe are caused by people drinking too much alcohol.

The scientist in German analyzed  this data from France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Denmark, Netherlands, Britain  and found 50,400 out of a total of 79,100 cases of certain types of cancers including bowel and throat tumors were caused by people over drinking.

It is also good to note that alcohol and drugs misuse weakens the fight against TB and Malaria.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) says that the misuse of alcohol and drugs and irrational use of antibiotics has undermined the global fight against TB and Malaria.

An estimated 440.000 new cases of multidrug-resistant TB were reported last year in nearly 6o countries across the world.

The doctors say that the people suffering from leukemia many times have teary eyes. Leukemia sometimes is referred to as cancer of the blood.

The MP for Kampala Central, Mohammad Nsereko has told the media that the proposed ‘public order bill 2011’ is unconstitutional and all Ugandans should fight it off.

Nsereko has advised Uganda’s ruling party, the National Resistance Movement and the government in general to withdraw the bill in its totality.
