- A Biden-era study told Americans to drink less alcohol. The Trump admin ‘sidelined’ the research facing pressure from the alcohol lobby
A study commissioned by President Biden’s administration found that even moderate alcohol consumption increases health risks, but the Trump administration chose not to include the findings in new dietary guidelines amid pressure from the alcohol industry and a congressional committee. The Biden-era research, published independently, concluded no level of alcohol consumption is protective against mortality, while the Trump administration denied sidelining the study and stated they followed established processes for dietary guidelines.
- A government-commissioned study found drinking risks. US guidelines didn't feature its findings
A government-commissioned study found that even moderate alcohol consumption increases health risks, but the Trump administration excluded its findings from dietary guidelines amid pushback from the alcohol industry and a congressional committee. The Biden administration later released the study independently, accusing the Trump administration of sidelining the research, which highlighted no safe level of alcohol consumption and linked drinking to over 200 diseases.
