#2The problem with articles like this is that they lack context on the relative risks of various activities. Is drinking a daily glass of wine more or less bad for your heart than skipping your daily aerobic exercise? Surely we can put some numbers on that.

#4Don't worry, in 5-10 years it will be good for you again.
I still remember being lectured in school on the food pyramid and the importance of getting your 8-10 servings of grains a day.

Straight up comparisons like that are pry too simplistic when dealing with a complicated system like our bodies.
People seem to really want this kind of +1/-1 point system for health related behavior tho. Like: “I just spent 30mins at the gym so I racked up enough ‘health points’ to eat an apple pie at McDonalds”.
I think the reality is that you need to generally do a good job of following all advice all the time if you want to remain healthy. Keep very active and remember that indulgences are OK, but should be infrequent.

I don't know about that, it it looking more like Alcohol is heading down the path of cigarettes where the more unbiased funding and studies that are done, the worse it appears. There have been several convincing reviews[1] recently that showed an increased risk of cancer at any dosage.

#9as someone who grew up i a community that has for many reasons, religious, social, economic that no one really does alcohol.
when there is nobody who is drunk, we have 0 drunk driving cases, 0 cases of people ending up in wrong places, 0 cases of alcoholism, 0 cases of "well we will just mix a drink with something more recreational", no need for AA among a host of other things including not having to budget alcohol in your daily budget because people are generally still poor.
why is that not more prevalent?

#10Yes but a moderate amount with good friends is great for my soul.
