The Harms of Wine Are Greater Than Its Benefits
But when searching for any benefits of wine in treating diseases, we find that its harms are greater than its benefits.
Wine is the mother of all evils, as the doctors of the French Ministry of Health said about it, as they came out with a statement and a strong warning against drinking wine. They say in a campaign to raise awareness in French society about the harms of wine.
This campaign is based on directives from the French Institute for Cancer Control, which confirms that drinking alcohol, especially wine, should be stopped. The ministry confirms that one glass of Daily alcohol increases the risk of cancer by 168%.
The director of the Cancer Institute, Dominique Maranchi, says that drinking even small amounts of alcohol causes unimaginable damage to human health. “No amount of alcohol, no matter how small, can do a person any good,” he says.
This is not the first time that French officials have warned of the dangers of alcohol. The Times confirmed that medical authorities around the world have been urging people to stop drinking alcohol to protect their health.
The Ministry of Health report was based on a comparison it conducted between hundreds of international studies and concluded that there is a relationship between types of cancer and food, drink and lifestyle.
The summary prepared by the ministry confirmed that alcohol paves the way for cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, colon and breast.
The Teaching of Muhammad ﷺ vs Paul
For your info: This scan contrasts two positions. First, it quotes the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as saying that all intoxicants are forbidden, and whatever intoxicates in large amounts is also forbidden in small amounts. Then it quotes 1 Timothy 5:23, where Paul is presented as saying: “No longer be a drinker of only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent illnesses.” The scan is being used to frame the article’s central contrast: Islamic prohibition of intoxicants versus a Biblical/Pauline instruction that presents wine as medicinal.
Modern Medical Warnings About Alcohol
Can any sane person prove that alcohol is beneficial and treats diseases as the holy book of science tells us?
Alcohol and Brain Damage
For your info: This scan cites a PubMed page from the National Library of Medicine for a study titled “Moderate alcohol consumption as risk factor for adverse brain outcomes and cognitive decline: longitudinal cohort study.” The scan states that alcohol consumption, even at moderate levels, is accompanied by adverse brain outcomes including hippocampal atrophy. This supports the argument that even “moderate” alcohol use is not medically harmless.
For your info: This scan shows the same study title on The BMJ website: “Moderate alcohol consumption as risk factor for adverse brain outcomes and cognitive decline: longitudinal cohort study.” It reinforces the previous scan by showing the original research article source and again connects moderate alcohol consumption with harmful brain and cognitive outcomes.
No Safe Level of Alcohol
For your info: This scan cites the World Health Organization website under the title “There is no safe level of alcohol, new study confirms.” It also shows a CNN Health headline saying: “Drinking any amount of alcohol causes damage to the brain, study finds.” The scan is used to support the article’s claim that modern medical authorities increasingly reject the idea that small amounts of alcohol are harmless or beneficial.
The Global Burden of Disease Study
For your info: This scan cites the research paper “Alcohol use and burden for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2016: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016.” The highlighted statement says that the level of alcohol consumption that minimized harm across health outcomes was zero standard drinks per week. This scan is being used to argue that the safest level of alcohol use, according to that cited research, is no alcohol consumption at all.
The Challenge
Can any sane person prove that alcohol is beneficial and treats diseases as the holy book of science tells us?
