The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
understand that zero is better than any. um if we hear about some uh cardiac benefit to weigh that against the cancer risk and not just take it as an independent piece of information and then to think about vulnerabilities of um other people's actions and vulnerabilities of one's own actions and words uh if drinking and then people can make an informed decision.
to eliminate alcohol related cancer risk, you should avoid drinking altogether.
The literature on alcohol and cancer suggests any amount above zero probably increases risk.

the risk that alcohol has on other diseases like cancer likely outweighs any potential benefits for cardiovascular disease
