BrainCandy 115: New guidelines for alcohol consumption. Do we need warning labels?

from BrainCandy English · host Ralph Uwe Ohnemus

Is alcohol really the new smoking? Should we put warning labels on wine bottles? In my latest BrainCandy, I take a critical look at the current recommendations of the US Surgeon General on alcohol consumption. Professor Vinay Prasad, a renowned medical statistician and scientist, has analyzed underlying studies – with surprising results. Find out: - Why the evidence for “every drop is harmful” is scientifically shaky- Why alcohol is definitely not “the new smoking”  As someone who enjoys a glass of wine themselves, I advocate a differentiated view of the topic – and briefly show how the effects of alcohol could finally be scientifically investigated. Don't miss out on this fascinating analysis!Show notes: https://en.ka-brandresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/BrainCandy-115_New-guidelines-for-alcohol-consumption.pdf
