YSK that Alcohol is a known human carcinogen according to every reputable health organization known to man

Why YSK: drinking alcohol is such a normalized part of our culture, and it is our duty to educate one another that it is in fact a known human carcinogen (Cancer causing agent)

1- Alcohol is not merely "linked to cancer" or "may cause it to re-occur". That is a half-truth. It's metabolized form, the form that gets you drunk (acetaldehyde), DIRECTLY causes cancer by itself.

2- Both the WHO (world health organization) and the IARC (International Agency For Research on Cancer), the world's foremost cancer research organization, classifies the alcohol that we so casually consume to be a GROUP 1 CARCINOGEN. this is on the same level as Tobacco, Asbestos.

3- This truth is extraordinarily well hidden by the alcohol industry. chronic alcohol consumption is commonly presented as a "risk factor" for cancer rather than a direct cause in itself (which it is)

I hope this post blows up, so this finally becomes common knowledge. Peace✌🏼

TIL that the Inughuit (aka Polar Eskimos) lived in such extreme isolation prior to being contacted by Europeans in 1818 that they were unaware of the existence of other humans, including other Inuits. Due to their isolation they had lost various technologies such as boats and bow and arrows.

When people ask me what I want to do and I say "nothing" they keep asking like I'm being coy or maybe I'll change my mind. Some people just aren't into celebrating and pressing them about it makes it worse.

TIL a study found that self-centered men who are argumentative & unempathetic are more likely to own a high-status car such as a BMW or Mercedes and these male drivers are the ones most likely to generally drive recklessly. No connection was found between female self-centeredness and luxury cars.
