Dr Laura Catena Reacts to AHA’s Statement on Alcohol. She is a Stanford and Harvard-educated physician and head of one of the most famous wineries in the world.
Listen to the podcast SipSipHooray
She spoke about the labelling requirements in Ireland, which is why we will no longer be able to buy Catena Zapata wines.
The Irish labelling rule now says:
Alcohol causes liver disease and cancer.
It does not say higher levels of drinking. They are claiming causality, but causality is related to quantity.
"There is no proof that alcohol use by healthy people without enzyme deficiency will cause liver disease."
They also need to state that there's a finding that heart disease is reduced and all-cause mortality is lowered. They are only stating the negative.
"If they said excess drinking causes harm to health, I'd be happy to include it."
