Every Tuesday morning at 10:15 am EST I join Cristina Mendonsa on Sacramento's New/Talk station KFBK to discuss the latest health stories in the news. This week, we discussed a NEW REPORT ON ALCOHOL SAFETY? LESS MAY BE BETTER FOR HEALTH1. Rapid Escalation of Risk After One DrinkThe primary finding of the "Alcohol Intake and Health Study" is that health risks accelerate significantly after a single daily drink. While the risk of premature death at one drink per day is 1 in 1,000, it jumps to 1 in 25 for those who consume two drinks a day—a level previously considered "safe" for men.2. Direct Links to Cancer and Chronic DiseaseThe study highlights that even light drinking increases the risk of specific diseases. One drink a day is linked to higher rates of liver cirrhosis, oral and esophageal cancers, and breast cancer. Higher consumption levels further increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and injury.3. Conflicts of Interest and Industry InfluenceA major controversy involves the NASEM report, a second study that reached a more "industry-friendly" conclusion by suggesting moderate drinking is healthier than abstinence. Critics noted that several panelists on that report had financial ties to the alcohol industry, raising questions about the objectivity of their findings.4. Scientific Methodology DiscrepanciesThe two studies reached different conclusions due to their methods:The New Study: Looked only at deaths directly attributable to alcohol (like liver disease).The NASEM Report: Looked at overalldeath rates. Critics argue this is flawed because moderate drinkers often have other healthy lifestyle habits (like better diets or exercise) that mask the negative effects of alcohol.5. Allegations of Government SuppressionRobert M. Vincent, the former official who commissioned the new study, claims he was fired because the results threatened commercial interests. He alleges that the findings were "sidelined" and "stalled" to protect the alcohol industry's profits, forcing the researchers to publish their work independently in a peer-reviewed journal.6. Vague Federal GuidelinesDespite the research, the resulting U.S. dietary guidelines were notably vague. They advised Americans to "drink less" but omitted specific daily limits. Health experts argue this lack of clarity fails to inform the public about the "significant risks" associated with consuming more than one drink per day.Commentary on the ControversyThe safety of alcohol use has become a battleground between public health data and commercial interests. For decades, the public was told that moderate drinking might be "heart-healthy." However, this article suggests that these perceived benefits may have been overstated or influenced by industry-funded research.The core of the controversy lies in the "safe limit"—while the industry and older guidelines suggested two drinks for men was acceptable, modern data indicates that this level carries a 4% (1 in 25) risk of premature death. Even though alcohol may offer minor protection against stroke or diabetes in some groups, the consensus among researchers like Dr. Ned Calonge is now clear: No one should start drinking specifically for health reasons.How To Reach Dr. Joe Galati and his Team:For an on-line consultation or press inquiries, contact Teresa Reyes at 713-794-0700Dr. Galati's Newsletter Sign-UpLiver Specialists of TexasGet a Copy of Dr. Galati's BookDr. Galati on FacebookMessage Dr. Galati and his team Hosted on Acast.

“A man's got to have a code, a creed to live by.” ~ Patrick DorinsonGuest Bio: For the last 35 years I have been involved in all kinds of political combat all across America and I have the battle scars to prove it. He is a writer, speaker and commentator who unlike many so-called pundits and commentators, has actually been in the arena. This ain't his first rodeo. He was a columnist for the FOX News.com Opinion section on the FOX News website. In the past Patrick appeared on Sean Hannity on the FOX News Channel and on Cavuto on the FOX Business Channel as well as on FOX News.com webcasts. For eight years he hosted his own own radio show, The Cowboy Libertarian on iHeart media's KFBK radio station in Sacramento. He currently can be seen weekly as a Newsmax Contributor. Patrick message is, “A man's got to have a code a creed to live by”. Beginning with the Ten Commandments, mankind has always had a code to live by. Today everyone talks about American values, but have no idea what those values are. It has become a throwaway line politicians use but they too have no idea what it means. Patrick Dorinson reminds us that if you have a code and values you will have the foundation for a moral life. SHOW NOTES: Website: https://ridinfences.com/Facebook: Facebook/Patrick DorinsonTwitter: @RidinBeamerYouTube Channel: Common Sense CowboyREMARKABLE LISTENER SPECIAL OFFER(S):Enjoy saving 30% to 80% on EVERYTHING you order at MyPillow.com with free promo code, “REMARKABLE“.
