Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?

    People off most cultures drink, not just westerners. See Japan.

    Also people have drank for thousands of years and I’ve not seen any studies showing there’s more drinking now not that that hypothetical increased drinking has increased cancer rate.

    Yes it’s obviously bad and causes cancer.

      I know, it’s the hill, but I’m on mobile and don’t feel like getting a better source. We’re not drinking more than ever, but we are drinking more, and it is becoming more normalized again. Also doing it for thousands of years isn’t much of an argument since we only recently even discovered cancer
