That explains a lot.
Exactly. People around me will certainly live longer.
I suspect ‘studies’ like these are intended to set the stage for huge taxes on alcohol. And why not, the government now totally controls the media - they might as well use them.
They shouldn’t blame the booze for what the bread did!
I identify as a teen, so I should be ok.

WHO is pushing anti propaganda world wide.
Gates pretty much owns WHO these days.
