Alcohol
Watched a nutrition and breast cancer webinar yesterday which said should have less than 6grams of alcohol per day. Given that a standard drink is 10g that’s not much. Has anyone else been told this?

While 10 standard drinks a week is the Cancer Council recommended maximum, it’s the maximum not the recommended ‘safe’ level. While I know a few medicos who still hold one glass of wine a day to be generally beneficial, most don’t recommend alcohol at all. No-one’s game to stick their neck out for a ‘safe’ level. I find every second day no alcohol helps to keep consumption down and have developed a taste for non-alcoholic wine and beer. It’s a pain, I love Italian varietals and I do still drink some wine. But not a lot.
