The article by Tori Latham was published by MSN in January 2024. The news of Craft Beer’s death is greatly exaggerated. But, Craft Beer is about components that never leave human culture-Community, friendships, socializing, and creating experiences. For $6 or $7 all of this cannot be created at home. I offer this article by Ms. Tori Latham because it is interesting.
It seems that what has been established as health facts get changed over time. Further, bias influences most things in research findings. Beer in general seems to be a touchstone for people who have a desire to explore the best way to relaunch a scholarly form of temperance. The question now becomes whether people should decide what suits their life and lifestyles. Virtually everything has risk, hence band-aids.
I have known of Dr. Laura Catena for a few years. Wrote an article about her work in the wine business in Argentina and research at UC Davis, after following articles of late concerning “Best to Never Drink any beverages alcohol. The warnings are familiar to those coming out of the Prohibition era in the U.S. There seemed to be a theme and a rhythm to the articles which never deviated from a dire warning of apocalyptic tones. Well, rest easy a glass of wine or craft beer or spirit daily is not as stated in modern-day Temperance warnings. Of course, dire proclamations from temperance research can have faults influencing outcome/interpretation of the research.
Dr. Catena has done a great job in her presentation of the questionable conclusions in current Beverage Alcohol research and conclusions. She is a Emerbency Room Doctor, a medical degree from Stanford, a biology degree from Harvard,, whe owns a winery in Mendoza,, and finally she works the vineyard herself when in Mendoza. She has done medical research and fully understands how to understand research results and the influences of those funding academic research.
These are my opinions about the sucbject at hand and I have had no contact with Dr. Catena or SevenFiftyDaily.com.
