Uncovering the Connection Between Alcohol Use and Bowel Cancer in 2024:

Uncovering the Connection Between Alcohol Use and Bowel Cancer in 2024:

By increasing public awareness of the risk factors and symptoms of bowel cancer during Cancer Awareness Month in 2024, we can promote early identification and enhance the prognosis for people who are impacted by the illness.Bowel cancer, commonly referred to as colorectal cancer, is a kind of cancer that affects the rectum and the colon, the large intestine. It happens when aberrant cells in the colon or rectum grow out of control, creating a tumor. This tumor poses a serious risk to one's life because it has the ability to infect nearby tissues and spread to other sections of the body. Although the precise origin of bowel cancer is unknown, risk factors for the disease include age, family history, and certain lifestyle choices like smoking and a diet heavy in processed foods.We all know today that alcohol is bad for us; among the dangerous illnesses it causes is cancer, particularly colorectal cancer. When we inquired about the connection between alcohol consumption and bowel cancer, Dr. Vinay Samuel Gaikwad, Director of Surgical Oncology (The Oncology Centre), CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram, clarified that alcohol enters the intestinal tract and comes into direct contact with the mucosa lining the intestine, stomach, colon, and rectum. Alcohol decomposes into toxic compounds that can destroy your cells' DNA and expose them to mutations that can lead to cancer. Furthermore, drinking too much alcohol can lead to persistent inflammation in the digestive tract, which is another established risk factor for colon cancer.Alcohol's effects on hormones may also have a role in the development of cancer. Your odds can be increased by even modest alcohol consumption, and the risk increases with increased consumption.Although drinking alcohol increases your risk of colon cancer, not everyone who drinks will get colon cancer. But one of the most effective ways to lower your risk of developing this cancer is to take control of your health and cut back on alcohol.

Zomato Notices An Increase In Sovereign Fund Stakes From Singapore And Kuwait

Large sovereign investors from Kuwait and Singapore increased their interests in the listed foodtech startup Zomato at a time when unicorn makers Tiger Global and SoftBank had completely exited the market.Kuwait Investment Authority reportedly purchased 88 million shares in the September quarter and then added an additional 6.7 million shares in the December quarter, increasing its interests, according to an ET report. Conversely, during the December quarter, Temasek, the national fund of Singapore, purchased 95 million shares in the business. Temasek already had 169 million shares through its investment subsidiary.The nation's mutual funds have increased their holdings in Zomato by twofold in addition to the sovereign funds. Mutual funds held a 12.34% interest in the company as of December 2023, about twice as much as they had owned 5.72% of the same time the previous year. As was previously said, it's interesting to note that these changes happened at the same time as institutional investors SoftBank and Tiger Global were pulling out of Zomato.Tiger Global sold 12.24 Cr shares, or 1.44% of the foodtech behemoth Zomato, in open market transactions in August of last year.According to the BSE's bulk deal data, Tiger Global's investment vehicle Internet Fund III Pte Ltd sold the shares in several tranches at an average price of INR 91.01 Cr. The venture capitalist received INR 1,123.84 Cr. in total for the shares that were sold. The prominent French bank Societe Generale purchased the majority of these shares. The other buyers of the offloaded shares were BNP Paribas Arbitrage, Axis Mutual Fund, Morgan Stanley Asia Singapore, Societe Generale, and Kotak's midcap fund.By the end of June 2023, Tiger Global's Internet Fund III owned 1.44% of Zomato. Masayoshi Son-led SoftBank exited the foodtech behemoth situated in Delhi-NCR just last month when it sold 9.35 Cr of Zomato shares in an INR 1,127 Cr block sale.Among the buyers of these shares were Morgan Stanley Asia Singapore, Invesco, ICICI Prudential Insurance, Goldman Sachs (Singapore), and Kadensa Capital.In a block transaction worth INR 621.6 Cr earlier this month, Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund sold 4.5 Cr shares of Zomato for INR 138.15 apiece. The company's stock fell 3% as a result of this block transaction. On January 20, 2023, at the closing bell, Zomato's shares traded for INR 130.10.
