The new United States dietary guidelines, which are expected to be released this month, will remove the daily recommended limit for alcohol consumption.

The new guidelines, drafted by the Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services,  “are expected to include a brief statement encouraging Americans to drink in moderation or limit alcohol intake due to associated health risks,” sources told Reuters.

This marks a shift for the guidelines. Since 1990, the daily recommended limits have been no more than one drink for women and up to two drinks for men. It also signals a rebuke of the Biden administration, which took steps to drastically limit the amount of alcohol Americans consume.

In the last month of his term, Biden’s surgeon general expressed a desire to place cancer risk warnings on all alcohol products. Biden had also tapped a secretive board called the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking to revise the alcohol portion of the dietary guidelines.

Sources close to the committee — which contained multiple Canadian citizens —warned it was “close to adopting the World Health Organization’s 2023 declaration: ‘No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health,’” as previously reported by The Daily Wire.

Dietary guidelines are published every five years. The current revision is being led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The intention behind making the change is “to ensure the guidelines reflect only the most robust evidence.”

“The scientific basis for recommending specific daily limits is limited,” one source commented.

The debate surrounding the potential benefits and harms of alcohol is still unsettled. Though some studies indicate an increased risk of cancer, others show that those who consume alcohol in moderation may have a lower mortality rate, and possess a lower risk of heart attack and stroke.

Authors of a Harvard meta-study concluded that “the data do not justify sweeping statements about the [negative] effects of moderate alcohol consumption on human health.”

The alcohol industry has responded positively to the news of the updated guidelines.

“Shares in alcohol companies rose shortly after the announcement, with both AB InBev and Diageo’s shares hitting an intraday high,” Reuters reported.

The misinformation published on social media sites about Israel is now being destroyed by fact-checkers all across the internet.

After an image possibly fomented by Iran of a downed Israeli fighter jet went viral, and other fake images were purveyed that also targeted Israel, a website devoted to defending Israel from the myriad falsehoods spread about it by antisemites demolished the narrative in a series of posts on X.

“Iran couldn’t down an F-35, so it conjured one with AI. A ‘destroyed jet,’ a ‘leveled airport,’ even a Star Wars Star Destroyer hidden under Tel Aviv—all fabricated and pushed out as proof of victory,” Honest Reporting pointed out. When someone hilariously posted a claim that Israel was hiding F-35 jets and submarines under an apartment building, Honest Reporting gibed, “This isn’t in the sub-level of a Tel Aviv apartment building. It’s an Imperial Star Destroyer from Star Wars.”

“Look closely: tail fins installed backwards, an engine still glowing, untouched grass, absurd scale. Each detail betrays the image, but the fakes raced around the internet long before anyone asked questions,” Honest Reporting noted.

D-Intent Data, another site devoted to combating misinformation posted on X, “A terrifying video showing a massive explosion, thick black smoke rising into the sky, and people fleeing the scene is being circulated with the claim that it shows Iranian missile strikes on Israel amid the ongoing tensions.”

“However, we found that the video is actually from the Russia-Ukraine war. According to reports, it shows the aftermath of a Ukrainian drone attack in January 2025 that caused fires at a Russian oil refinery in the Ryazan region,” the post continued. “INTENT: Propaganda accounts are circulating old videos from the Russia-Ukraine war with misleading claims to set their narrative over the ongoing tensions in the Middle East.”

“An unofficial Iranian ‘news’ outlet is peddling fake images to push blatant disinformation in [a] time of conflict. This isn’t journalism- it’s manipulation. Fabricating visuals to deceive people is shameless and dangerous,” Priyankka Deo, professor and host of “The Indian Abroad,” wrote on X.
