January 5, 2025 – Two days ago, the U.S. Surgeon General called for warning labels on alcohol-containing beverages to include cancer risk. This new advisory affects numerous beverages on the market including hard liquor, beer, wine and even alcohol blends in carbonated sodas, hard lemonades, alcohol-laced coffee and energy drinks. The research is compiled into this link showing four mechanisms on how alcohol could cause cancer: oxidative stress that damages DNA; proteins and cells plus increased inflammation; breakdown of alcohol in the body into acetaldehyde that also damages DNA; hormonal alternation that increases breast cancer risk; and alcohol leading to increased absorption of carcinogens.
What is shocking in reviewing the Federal graphs above is even low-to-moderate alcohol consumption with only two drinks per week has a cancer risk that really is not that much lower than that of consuming fourteen drinks (or 7 times more) per week.* We certainly are not either justifying or condoning a higher alcohol consumption with only slight increases in the risk but pointing out that even light alcohol consumption has a cancer risk. The source of these graphs above comes from the same Federal research compilation addressing risks for oral, breast, liver and colon cancer.
We can not legally claim that Watt-Ahh will lower any disease-related risk. We can share, however, that the detox nature of Watt-Ahh could cleanse the body of alcohol for a faster hangover recovery. Its superior hydration can safeguard from the dehydration effects of drinking alcohol. Substituting an alcohol-containing beverage with Watt-Ahh will give some energy kick without the side effects of numbness, impaired judgement, sleepiness, lack of coordination, slurred speech and no hangover pain associated with drinking alcoholic beverages.
So Cheers to Those who Choose the Clean Alternative, Watt-Ahh!
* One drink is the equivalent of about one 12-ounce can of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine or a shot of liquor.
