Alcohol May Not Be Safe Even in Moderation
Description
A groundbreaking study warns that even one drink a day may raise your risk of early death and serious diseases like cancer and heart disease, challenging long-held beliefs about moderate drinking. Commissioned to update U.S. dietary guidelines, the research faced industry pushback and was sidelined — despite finding alcohol linked to over 200 illnesses. Current guidelines remain vague, urging only “less alcohol for better health,” while the study’s authors push for a strict one-drink limit. Experts say commercial interests may have influenced the delay, and public opinion is shifting — with more people seeing even moderate drinking as risky.
