I like having a cocktail with girlfriends. And before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I never gave it a second thought. Alcohol was part of my social life, or I'd have a glass of wine on a flight to chill out.

Recent research has made me rethink my choices. Research shared by the Susan G. Komen Center tells us that each cocktail I consume can increase my breast cancer risk by 7%. And 2-3 drinks per day can increase my risk by 20%.

I work too damn hard on my health to increase my breast cancer risk by 20% for something I often do mindlessly.

Does this mean I don't drink any alcohol? NOPE.

This means that if I really want that glass of wine, I will make an informed decision and enjoy every sip.

The "old" me would have grabbed the wine and probably a second glass without considering what it might be doing inside my body.

According to today's guest, she believes there are only two things that we consume that can really increase our risk of getting cancer.

Alcohol is one. Any guesses as to what number two is?
