Readers answer: wine should not burden the threat to alcohol health

Readers answer: wine should not burden the threat to alcohol health

I was surprised that the Oregonian/Oregonlive allowed the writer to be a wine without clear medical training to question the support of the American surgeon surgeon that alcohol should have cancer warning labels (“(” (“General surgeon’s advice causes a conversation about alcohol, cancer and health“January 25). This is reckless.

Alcohol is the third main cause of cancer that can be prevented, regardless of the evidence of the alcohol industry, tries to present this fact.

Columnists who specialize in wine have too many alleged conflicts of interests that in my opinion I in my opinion objectively report, regardless of the writer’s disclosure that he is a wine writer.

It seems that the writer, Michael Alberta, was looking for only one separate voice that could counteract his desired narrative: the American surgeon himself. No wonder that the general surgeon rejected an interview with someone who also writes for wine enthusiasts.

However, extensive studies support the position of a general surgeon and, by quoting doctors challenging the well -established fact that alcohol causes cancer, resembles advertising from the 1950s, which the doctors preferred.
