“The Red Wine Myth:” Is Any Drinking Actually Healthy?
In this eye-opening episode, David Roden and Lara confront one of the most persistent wellness myths: is red wine actually good for you? They explore the scientific reality behind alcohol as a class one carcinogen, its links to cancer and liver disease, and the misconception that some types of alcohol are “healthier” than others. The conversation goes beyond the data, touching on personal choices, social pressures, and the cultural normalization of drinking. David and Lara encourage listeners to be intentional and informed about their alcohol consumption—and to prioritize health without sacrificing joy or connection.
