EL PASO, Texas -- Many studies have shown that moderate red wine drinking can lower your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and weight gain.

But according to a recent study, consuming one bottle of red wine a week could increase your risk of cancer, just as it would if a man smoked ten cigarettes a week, or a woman smoked five cigarettes a week.
