🍷 How much alcohol is truly safe?

A landmark Burden of Proof study published in Nature Health analyzed 843 cohort and case-control studies examining alcohol and 20 major health outcomes.

Key findings: ✅ Even low levels of alcohol increased the risk of several cancers. ✅ Higher alcohol intake increased risk across all outcomes studied. ✅ Low-to-moderate intake showed possible associations with lower risks of type 2 diabetes, dementia, and some cardiovascular diseases—but these findings remain observational and uncertain.

The takeaway: alcohol's health effects are complex, but cancer risk begins earlier than many realize.
