Diet Quality Worsens as Alcohol Intake Increases – 1
Narrator: This is NIH Health Matters. I’m Joe Balintfy. The more you drink, the worse your food choices.
Breslow: When people drank more they tended to make poorer food choices.
Narrator: But Dr. Rosalind Breslow at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism qualifies results from a recent study.
Breslow: It’s important to note that our study was not designed to determine whether there was a cause and effect relationship between drinking and food choices, rather we were interested in seeing what the relationship might be.
Narrator: The study of 15,000 adults in the U.S. found that increased alcoholic beverage consumption was associated with decreased diet quality.
