🌲 Bringing in the peaves: most of you do not like the myriad of substantiated research around the all out toxicity of alcohol - beer, wine , spirits et al. I was an eager liquor lapper too but have not had a drop since June ‘24.
If you’re bloated, overeat, don’t sleep well, can’t lose weight, are depressed or anxious, make poor decisions, have elevated cholesterol or glucose levels, much of this points to alcohol use. Even one glass - has anyone ever had one small anything? Be honest with yourself. Give tour body a lift by quitting it for a month and seeing what happens.
Many American adults remain unaware that alcohol is a cause of tens of thousands of cancer cases in the U.S. every year, reports the American Institute for Cancer Research - AICR. A recent study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that less than a third of 3,900 U.S. adults surveyed by mail were aware of the link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk.
The survey also looked at support of adding health warning labels and guidelines to alcoholic beverage labels. Read more: https://www.aicr.org/news/most-americans-still-unaware-that-alcohol-is-a-cause-of-cancer
“Communicating the strong link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk is a major first step—it’s all about awareness,” notes Sheena Patel, MS, RDN, AICR Director of Nutrition Programs.
“For those who want to lower their alcohol intake there are several strategies that can help them cut back, including alternating alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks (e.g., mocktails, nonalcoholic beers and flavored sparkling waters), ordering smaller sizes or keeping a few days a week alcohol free. Any reduction in alcohol consumption can help to lower your risk."
