Drinking More Makes the Diet Poor

People who drink more alcohol also are more likely to eat poorly, says a study. Adults who drink more alcohol also eat less fruit. They also take in more calories, compared with people who don’t drink. The study also found that men who drink more alcohol eat fewer whole grains and milk products. The study was done by groups at the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It was published in the April 2010 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. United Press International (UPI) wrote about it March 29.
