The alcohol industry, with allies in Congress and the Trump administration, has sought to bury a government study revealing the link between alcohol consumption and various health risks, including cancer. The industry’s efforts have apparently succeeded, as the Trump administration is not publishing the study, which found negative health effects starting at low levels of drinking. Simultaneously, the National Academies of Sciences published a controversial report potentially downplaying these risks, potentially paving the way for less restrictive dietary guidelines regarding alcohol consumption. This decision, seemingly in favor of the industry, could leave Americans less informed about the dangers of alcohol.
