[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No because the CDC and large health organizations recognize that most people are morons, first and foremost. Then they also know that people will take more liberal actions based on their recs. The my say zero drinking and some people will still drink. They say a few drinks are ok and some will use it as justification to get smashed. Population health looks at people like a massive group, not as individuals, and certainly not as intelligent adults who can make their own personal decisions. Do you rely on large professional bodies to make all decisions for your life?[/quote]

The CDC is the wonderful organization that said any woman having unprotected sex should completely abstain from drinking.  This is clearly based on the assumption that they are talking to a woman who is not tracking her cycles and therefore could be 8 weeks pregnant without knowing.

And it should be noted that even the CDC says drinking while breastfeeding is not known to cause harm to the baby.  Yet people still shame women for doing that.  There's something else going on here besides concern for baby's health and it's rooted in a lack of respect for women.[/quote]
