9Alcohol
Alcohol consumption severely depletes our bodies’ levels of niacin. This vitamin B3 component aids in the breakdown of proteins and fats. That is why alcohol is linked to obesity and therefore, certain types of cancers.
Additionally, alcohol turns into DNA-damaging acetaldehyde in the body. Acetaldehyde also prevents the body from repairing such injury. This impairs the normal growth and function of a cell, leading to cancerous tumors.
Alternative: If you feel dependent on alcohol, the effectiveness of over-the-counter niacin supplements against compulsive drinking and alcohol withdrawal has been proven in many clinical trials.
