Drinking white wine raises deadly skin cancer risks

There's evidence white wine may increase the risk of melanoma -- the most deadly type of skin cancer.

The new study from Brown University will be published in the journal

, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

It showed that each drink per day of white wine increased the risk of melanoma by 13 percent among white men and women.

White wine drinkers were also 7 -percent more likely to be diagnosed with melanomas in parts of the body with less sun exposure than non-drinkers.

Beer, red wine and liquor did not significantly affect melanoma risk.
