No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health

To identify a “safe” level of alcohol consumption, valid scientific evidence would need to demonstrate that at and below a certain level, there is no risk of illness or injury associated with alcohol consumption. The new WHO statement clarifies: currently available evidence cannot indicate the existence of a threshold at which the carcinogenic effects of alcohol “switch on” and start to manifest in the human body.

    Oh that. Bloody useless as I understand it.

    Apparently according to something I also read the amount of carcinogen you are exposed to on a 18 minute walk next to a low but noticeable traffic (I remember it saying 20ish cars per minute) is orders of magnitude stronger in regards to cancer causing factors in daily life.

    I'm not 100% certain about equating carcinogenic effects to causing cancer but I don't know any other reason to talk about carcinogens.

    Sorry to bother you, this was all a nothing burger. Sorry I asked and wasted your time, and mine too
