All studies showed some improvements for light drinkers

Not the Mayo Clinic
Research on alcohol suggests a sobering conclusion: Drinking alcohol in any amount carries a health risk. While the risk is low for moderate intake, the risk goes up as the amount you drink goes up.

Be careful about those studies that use a group that "drinks moderately" but includes a crowd that typically also keeps their weight down and exercise regularly (i.e. Mediterranean). Also studies that are predominately wine drinkers, as the benefits from the wine are from other ingredients besides alcohol.

some substance like red wine have even more protective effects

Grape juice has those same protective effects. If you want to deink, go ahead. Just do not claim it improves health.

The fermentation process increases the various antioxidants, esp. the polyphenols (resveratrol etc.). Plus the amount of sugar is higher in grape juice. Certain benefits you cannot have without the alcohol. I do claim it improves health given all the data at hand, of course it is hard to stay within the limits if you don't specifically do it for health reasons.

Factory food, canola oil, tons of sugar.

Not sugar. Sodas were popular and everyone put lumps of sugar into coffee and tea. Even as late as the mid 1960s, "shot with sugar" was a brag for breakfast cereals. Moms also put lots of sugar inro home baked cakes, pies, and cookies. Frosting was sugar blended into lard, butter, or veggie grease like Crisco. Sugar cubes were everywhere even at the doctor's office to serve drops of medicine to kids. Sugar is 15 calories per teaspoon; it is not the culprit. Look more toward portion size and lack of activity. The 1950s types drank a single glass bottle of Coke after playing a baseball game or riding bikes, today's youngsters suck down a Big Gulp while sitting playing hours of Fortnite.

When i was a kid there was a ton of surgar in everything, we were drinking kool-aid and sodas all the time along with all the other goodies. But we were all extreamly active. I think that childhood activity conditions our metabolism at least into the late 20s. Kids now are not even 1/10th as active especially in the cities. I'm sure some of it is just lower quality food but the activity difference has to be more of an issue.

Best never to get on the sugar treadmill; at the very least, take sugar in the form of whole foods and fruits (although fructose is metabolized by the liver, not the salivary glands/stomach as occurs for sucrose).

It's taken me the better part of 10 years to finally kick the sugar habit. No more spikes in blood sugar with attendant insulin nuking. Intermittent fasting is now possible for me - one carb-free snack and then dinner in the evening. Nutrient dense foods - lots of 100% grass fed meat, fattier cuts or ground is preferred because it's rich in omega-3 as opposed to omaga-6 inflammatory seed oil fats.

This. I don't finish most meals when going out to eat. Breakfast I do 2 scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and wheat toast. I'll finish that. Lunch or dinner though going out, shit.... I'm not finishing that 9 out of 10 times. People justify the cost and try to finish everything.

When I'm done, I'm done. Entree could be $70. I don't care, I'm not going to stuff myself. If the food was good I got my value, I don't need below average food with quantity.

Cruise ship dinners are perfect portion wise. I wish American restaurants were more like that. Obviously they're trying to save money, but the portions are perfect. Not bulimic but have puked at least twice after eating huge portions of average food.

100% agreed. I had 2 soda cans (and plenty of food to replenish) a day in the summer plus Popsicles galore, but played soccer and tennis, training, leisure and games easily amounting to 3-4 hours of running per day. Went everywhere by bike or foot as well. Matchstick body until adulthood. Move move move

Main problem here is HFCS. Rest is fine (although im general natural flavors should be precisely listed), the concentrate just makes it easier to ship and store.

She just needs to stop eating sugar and seed oils and go on long walks every day.

It'd be funny if they showed him burning skids trying to get away but he can't because she's sitting on the back of the car.

Hilarious and disgusting (the fatties, that is) at the same time.

My guess:

Have a mint - it's wafer thin . . .

ASSPLODING

The tree video was funny. But it was definitely AI. The two guys in water was unfazed as the tree fell in the water right next to them. Didn't even look.
Healthy big trees don't snap like that at the base. It would have been more believable had they asked AI to make it uproot out of bank and fall over as she swung.

The reaction of others in these AI videos, it's always the other people the NPCs in the videos that gives it away. The video posted early this week with the intruder that was set on fire. Isn't as obvious because there aren't any NPCs in the video, just him running in the yard on fire.

That's true:

Booger says

Jesus Christ, at 6'3" I don't even think I could try to get in the 300's even if it was paid for on a bet. I feel slightly overweight at 210-220lbs. 250lbs would be fat/obese. 300lbs plus and my heart explodes or I'm diabetic.

A lot of the generals are just dynastic shills as in politics, and eat and drink as they please without any thought of exercise except pushing buttons, getting extra paychecks from the SES without paying taxes on them, dreaming of working for the Mafia or lobbying for MIC on retirement, and signing off on MIC documents. The more ribbons they have, the bigger the phony they are. A good number are Satanists but call themselves 'existentialists'.

Go ahead. Fat shame him to his face.

If you want to lose weight, move to Ethiopia.

Losing weight will be least of your concern when you are in Ethiopia compared to staying alive.

I did the unimaginable for me today. I went to a walmart. We're fucked folks. I'm lean to slight overweight if you met me. Everyone in that store was fat and retarded. Not being hyperbolic.

Previous day went to Buffalo Wild Wings and my oldest just wanted to get in and found the most retarded hostess possible. The place was empty and it took 5 minutes for her to sit us. Didn't know where the menus were. Full retard. I told my son we could have just gotten a high top in the bar and dealt with the bartender that was a hot chick. Our waitress was a tattooed heifer.

What scares me is that this is just normal to the young now. I don't like the future if this is normal. This is not the best adulting, but I told my son that you rushed in here to find the most retarded person? Then we got a fat waitress. I told him to let me handle the situation in the future.

Hopefully it was a lesson for him. Wasn't mad at him, but kind of ruined what could have been a fun lunch with him. Maybe it's gone to my head with familial success, but the common American is sooooooo dumb and fat. And borderline retarded. Sorry to 50% of you that are or likely have family members dealing with this.
