Does Moderation in Alcohol Consumption Suit Everyone's Need?

Does Moderation in Alcohol Consumption Suit Everyone's Need?

Here is why we need a nuanced and individualized approach to alcohol to minimize its toxic effect on our health and well-being.

In this post, I provide the key points of a recent article I published on my website and Medium titled Why No Amount of Alcohol Use Can Be Considered Entirely Safe for Health.

I’ve seen how alcohol impacts people differently. A friend who enjoyed moderate drinking found himself struggling with addiction, which derailed his dreams and caused him years of hardship. His story revealed the potential dangers in our society’s normalization of “moderation.” It’s not always a safe zone; for some, it’s the start of a slippery slope. Meanwhile, studies on alcohol’s “health benefits,” like resveratrol in wine, often downplay the much larger volume of research pointing to its toxic effects on cells and organs.

Five Critical Health Risks of Alcohol

Cancer: Alcohol’s association with several cancers is well-documented and acknowledged by agencies like the WHO. Even light drinking raises cancer risks, including breast and liver cancers.

Heart Health: While some believe in alcohol’s heart health benefits, the scientific evidence reveals that even moderate drinking can raise blood pressure and increase the risk of heart conditions.

Cognitive Decline: Ethanol affects the brain, from neurons to cognitive abilities. Chronic use can lead to mental health issues and increase the risk of dementia.

Immune Suppression: Alcohol weakens immune responses, leaving us vulnerable to infections like pneumonia. It disrupts white blood cells, which are critical to fighting infections.

Digestive Health: Alcohol irritates the gut, contributing to ulcers and malabsorption of nutrients essential for our health.

ILLUMINATION Substack Community Support - Dr Mehmet Yildiz

Why We Created a Commercial Arm for Our Charity

The ILLUMINATION publications have been providing full free service to all community members through our volunteer workforce on Medium.com since March 2020. It has been an absolute pleasure for me as an owner and chief editor of these community publications, and we will continue to do so for most writers who cannot afford any subscription fee. We understand the economic situation. However, to survive and thrive as a community, we need to generate funds and delegate tedious tasks like administration, moderation, and marketing to professionals so that creators can focus on what really matters to them.

A commercial arm provides a charity with the financial stability, flexibility, and resources needed to amplify its impact and fulfill its mission more effectively. It ensures that the charity can continue to serve those in need, regardless of economic conditions. Here’s why this approach is essential:
