A study commissioned by President Joe Biden's administration to investigate alcohol-related health harms was released independently on Tuesday, after President Donald Trump's administration decided not to feature the researchers' findings in new dietary guidelines as it faced pushback from the alcohol industry and a congressional committee.

The findings of the study, in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, were in line with years of research, saying that health risks go up with just one drink a day and no level of alcohol has a protective effect on mortality. Even levels considered "moderate" raise the risk of premature death and more than 200 diseases, including heart disease and cancer, researchers found.

The new study was one of two government reviews meant to help inform the new dietary guidelines. Released earlier this year, the guidelines advised consuming "less alcohol for better overall health." The authors of the independently released study say that didn't provide detailed practical advice about the risks of drinking.

One of the officials involved in the study commissioned by Biden's Democratic administration accused Trump's Republican administration of "sidelining" the research — an allegation the Trump administration denies.

1. Do such studies as these

control for quality of daily diet, exercise and preventive medical care?

2. Remember, Republicans do not care for the public. They rather let us die.

3. I remember seeing this, and while not completely

dismissing it, I'm highly skeptical. Why? Because if I have read this correctly it was a study of other studies that have been done, and those studies were looking at something else entirely.
