[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Break down the increased odds of getting any one of those things from drinking 0-2 drinks a week. Do the odds go from 3% to 4.5%? How much damage does that caramel latte do? [/quote]

the relative danger of caramel latte has nothing to do with the established cancer risk of alcohol.

that said, you're not going to enjoy the emerging research on the links between sugar and cancer... ;)

But seriously, the larger story, which only a few places have nipped at, is that the sugar and alcohol industry paid a lot of money over the years to push the (real) academic research that showed the cancer dangers of tobacco and the (less serious) academic research linking red meat/eggs to heart disease.

what we're discovering is that while tobacco is definitley not good for you (we all agree on that, right?) and red meat isn't GOOD in large quantities, it's actually alcohol and sugar that are largely responsible for heart disease and, apparently, more and more, cancer.[/quote]
