Not if she regularly eats red meat. I like how we all ignore that one because its inconvenient but harp on the alcohol one. [/quote]

I've noticed the opposite. Until recently, drinking was not associated with cancer. Meat is promoted heavily by lobbying organizations. Our meat is low quality yet heavily promoted and consumed. [/quote]

OP here. I recently learned that in the 1990s, when the cigarette industry took a nosedive, the cigarette companies bought out the food industry, and then began adding addictive chemicals. I have not looked deeply into these claims. But, I admit a niggling feeling that all the attention is on alcohol to divert attention from the changes in our food.  I had to quit because I'm on a preventative medication that's hard on the liver, and I've grown accustomed to a well functioning liver so I don't want to give it up. But I'm not sure this course of action is necessary for people with just normally functioning bodies.  [/quote]
