Today is your day Boomer! It is not really what we want to hear....but, here it is Boomers. A new study says we have to cut down our alcohol consumption. Yup....down to less than SIX drinks per week. That means one glass of wine for dinner on only five nights in a seven-day week, or some other combination. If you drink more, your chances of getting diseases like cancer, heart and liver issues rise dramatically! Yikes! Here are the "old" guidelines from a CBC website: "those suggested no more than 10 standard drinks a week for women and 15 standard drinks a week for men. One of the reasons the 2011 recommendations were higher was because of a belief that alcohol had some good health benefits for cardiovascular disease. But now, new research shows that is probably not the case anymore." So, my daily glass of red wine is now not good for the heart. By the way, the new recommendations are especially directed at women who suffer disease like breast cancer. 7000 people die from alcohol-related cancer in Canada each year. Okay Boomers, not good news for us....food and now drink for thought. And I won't say "cheers" today.....
