In this week's column, Vin Greco breaks down the recent Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse and Addiction alcohol consumption guidelines
Recently, the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse and Addiction released new guidelines concerning alcohol, and suggested that having more than two drinks a week increases one’s health risks.
In an article by Jeff McIntosh in The Canadian Press aiming at putting the CCSA’s new guidelines into perspective, Malleck notes that, while it has been reported that they are based on nearly 6,000 peer-reviewed studies, the strict and restrictive criteria that was applied ruled out all but 16 of them for use in their mathematical modelling. He suggests that the recommendations are based on a relatively narrow understanding on how alcohol functions.
Scott White, CEO of Conversation Canada and lead researcher on a national study aiming to develop Canadian Social Connection Guidelines wrote that “the social benefits of alcohol use are fundamentally important in the development of public health guidelines for alcohol consumption.” The Inniskillin Reserve Riesling VQA will be $3 off at $18.95, while the Inniskillin Reserve Merlot VQA will sell for $21.95, a savings of $5.
