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.

Energy drinks mixed with alcohol, such as Red Bull™ and vodka, have become trendy. While this consumption has been implicated in risky drinking practices and associated accidents and injuries, there is little laboratory research on how the effects of this combination differ from those of drinking alcohol alone.

ScienceDaily (Mar. 10, 2011) — Patients who have had a gastric bypass operation take longer to process alcohol, potentially leading some of them to overindulge when drinking, according to the results of a new study in the February issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.

I personally find it ironic, if not outrageously immoral, that the our Federal Government, allegedly working for it’s citizenry, is a co-conspirator, as well as sanctioner and promoter, for tax revenue, to alcohol, many harmful and documented prescription drugs, tobacco, soda, HFCS, cancer causing colorants, high intensity sweeteners, preservatives, stabilizers, salts, human ingestibles, and topically applied substances, of known and proven great health harm.

ScienceDaily (July 23, 2010) — Your friend walks into a bar to meet you for happy hour. He sidles up to the bar and orders a drink — does that make you more likely to get a drink yourself?

ScienceDaily (June 7, 2010) — A novel study by German researchers reported that alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking were associated with increased migraines and tension-type headaches (TTH) in high school students. Coffee drinking and physical inactivity were associated specifically with migraines.

ScienceDaily (May 13, 2010) — In findings that should finally put to rest a decade of controversy in the field of neurobiology, a team at The Scripps Research Institute has found decisive evidence that a specific neurotransmitter system — the endocannabinoid system — is active in a brain region known to play a key role in the processing of memory, emotional reactions, and addiction formation. The new study also shows that this system can dampen the effects of alcohol, suggesting an avenue for the development of drugs to combat alcohol addiction.

Drinking alcohol over a long period of time profoundly affects the brain, which adapts to the intoxicant and causes withdrawal symptoms when consumption stops. Neuroscientists from the University of Southampton’s School of Biological Sciences investigated alcohol dependency and withdrawal using tiny 1mm long C. elegans worms. Despite the worm’s evolutionary distance from humans, and very simple brain of just 302 nerve cells, it exhibits similar alcohol-dependent behaviours.

‘Hair of the dog’ may help alcohol withdrawal symptoms but it also increases alcohol dependency

Alcohol is a proven blood depressant.  Excessive alcohol consumption is detriment to health and addictive.  Alcohol is a toxin.  Alcohol is now proven to lead to telomerase deterioration chromosomally leading to predisposition to cancer, as is the case with many forms of toxins and nutrient blocking ingestive or exposure materials.  Read previous posting on Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, MD fro UCSF Medical School, posted in the archive of this blog, Nobel Laureate in 2009 for Medicine.

ScienceDaily (Mar. 21, 2010) — Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are influenced by multiple genetic, environmental and behavioral factors, which makes it difficult to find individual genetic markers to help identify those at risk of developing AUDs. This study examined how a person’s level of response (LR) to alcohol, which is closely linked to the development of AUDs, is related to “gene sets” rather than individual genes. Findings show that glutamate receptor signaling genes that enable brain cells to respond to chemicals, and then to communicate that response, are involved in a person’s LR.
