Abstract
- The Danish Fitness and Nutrition Council evaluated the impact of moderate alcohol intake depending on drinking pattern, age, sex, and the type of beverage. A daily intake of approximately 1-3 units for men and approximately 1 unit for women is associated with the lowest risk of type 2-diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Binge drinking is more detrimental than a more steady alcohol intake. No clear association is found between alcohol and obesity. In contrast, alcohol intake is associated with increased risk of various cancers, e.g. a linear increased risk of breast cancer with every unit of alcohol is present.
