No amount of alcohol is good for the heart, says World Heart Federation
I am fine with abstinence as a general recommendation, but critical thinking pointed out two issues with the WHF Policy Brief, which I suppose I have read in sufficient depth:<p>1. There is no citation on the sentence, &quot;Recent evidence has found that no level of alcohol consumption is safe for health.&quot; This is really the only line we are interested in.<p>2. There is no comparison on the effects of alcohol on the body by dosage (and frequency), which is, again, what is required from the brief to make that claim.<p>Again, while I don&#x27;t necessarily disagree with what&#x27;s in the report, and that it is already established that drinking too much is not good for the heart, considering many otherwise toxic substances have a hormetic zone, it is critical that a study like this rules out the its existence for ethanol.
