(Winespectator) - Researchers analyzing data from more than 600,000 men participating in multiple studies have found that moderate consumption of red wine may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. But they also found that white wine may increase the risk.

It's the latest chapter in wine's complicated relationship with cancer. Alcohol consumption has been linked to a higher risk of certain cancers. But some studies have found that wine, particularly red wine, may decrease the risk of other cancers.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American men, with an estimated 161,360 new cases in 2017, according to a journal of the American Cancer Society. It grows in the prostate gland at a very slow pace and is highly treatable if caught at an early stage, before it metastasizes. However, some forms of prostate cancer are extremely malignant and can proliferate swiftly.
