[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a man 2-3 isn't. I know people that have poor health because they won't stop drinking soda, and eating chips or other junk food. Or refuse to lose weight. I drink at least 2 glasses of wine a night, my husband doesn't. However, he's on 3 prescriptions. My doctor recently told me to keep doing what I'm doing based on my labs etc.

Now if he downs a bottle every night it's time to curb it.[/quote]

Aren't you worried about the carcinogens in wine end the link to breast cancer?

My mom has breast cancer, and she drank 2-3 glasses of wine for decades. She was always thin, ate very healthy, physically fit, and great labs. And now she's dying of breast cancer. Her cancer wasn't genetically predisposed, so I'm blaming the wine habit. [/quote]

Could just as easily have been carcinogens in the environment. Without more, blaming the wine feels like a modern version of thinking God afflicts people for their sinful behavior. [/quote]

Perhaps. But I don't smoke because I know it can cause cancer. And I similarly don't drink 2 glasses of wine each night because I know it could cause cancer...and per the data, breast cancer specifically. This is based on science; it's a known link that I can proactively minimize.

PP, people on these forums don't want to know about the most recent studies -- multiple ones -- that now are saying alcohol in any amount is bad for one's health. And any type is bad. The whole "red wine is good for you in moderation" thing is a myth, and so on. But you're not going to get anything but scorn here, from those who insist that everything can be fatal and they don't care to try to minimize potential, known risks. And despite what one jerk said above, you're not smug; you're smart.
