The attached article refers to alcohol based beverages, what is NOT said in the attached article, the actual percentage of soda, laden with High Fructose Corn Syrup, and artificial sweetening soda is closer to 73 percent in harmful disease cause by such ingestion.

By the way, this second conclusion on soda is UNANIMOUS among several dozen MD’s in currently in practice. that have told me this over the past few years. Getting this many MD’s to agree on the same general conclusion is a real alarm as to what is really harming us.

Heart healthy? Maybe, but it also increases your risk of cancer, a new study shows. New research shows that even a single alcoholic drink per day can increase your risk of developing certain types of cancer, including breast cancer in women.

Even Moderate Drinking Linked to Increased Cancer Risk

I have been telling anyone for YEARS all fake power and energy drinks are full of neuroTOXIN poisons!

The poisons include, but are not limited to: cancer causing colors, cancer causing chemical sweeteners, obesity causing sweeteners, stroke causing sweeteners, lethal levels of anhydrous chemical caffeine, cancer causing sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, vitamins B 6 and B 12 rendered from the intestines of pigs in slaughter houses, genetically modified starches/gums/colliods, harsh and health harming chemical acids, fake autism and memory harming flavors, chemical based alkaline nasties, cancer causing and birth defect inducing taurine and guarana, and this is the TIP OF THE ICEBERG!!!

Combine these poison drinks, that do NOT provide any real energy or powder with blood depressant alcohol and you cause cardiac arrest and DEATH.

Said another way, with or without booze, these products are a MEET YOUR MAKER EARLY COCKTAIL.

Who should be drinking these deadly brands? Members of terrorists organizations
and the sellers/promoters of such poisons.

Alcohol is known to worsen the effects of disease, resulting in longer recovery period after trauma, injury or burns. It is also known to impair the anti-viral immune response, especially in the liver, including response against Hepatitis C (HCV) and HIV. New research published in BioMed Central’s open access journal BMC Immunology shows that alcohol modulates the anti-viral and inflammatory functions of monocytes and that prolonged alcohol consumption has a double negative effect of reducing the anti-viral effect of Type 1 interferon (IFN) whilst increasing inflammation via the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNFα.

Drinking alcohol during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of miscarriage, premature birth, and low birth weight. But there are conflicting reports about how much alcohol, if any, it is safe for a pregnant woman to drink. New research published in Biomed Central’s open access journal BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth looked at the amounts of alcohol women drank during their early pregnancy and showed the effect this had on their babies.

Heavy beer drinkers who have a specific genetic variant in the cluster of three genes that metabolize alcohol are at significantly higher risk of developing non-cardia gastric cancer, according to research presented at the AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011, held April 2-6. Study results also showed that the same risk is also elevated (but not as significantly) for heavy beer drinkers who do not have the variant, known as rs1230025, and for non-drinkers who have rs1230025 or rs283411.

Prolonged and high concentrations of glucocorticoids can have damaging effects on neuronal function and cognition. Evidence shows that glucocorticoids are associated with neurotoxicity during abstinence after withdrawal from alcohol dependence (AD), and that glucocorticoid receptor antagonism may represent a pharmacological option for recovery.
