Professor Tim Stockwell, a leading figure in alcohol research, shares the gritty details of his encounters with Big Alcohol in this compelling episode. He explains how the alcohol industry funds and influences studies to downplay the health risks associated with drinking. Stockwell’s 2023 study, which reviewed 107 previous studies involving nearly 5 million participants over 40 years, faced severe backlash. Not only did he receive criticism, but he also encountered death threats.
This episode dives into these intense experiences and sheds light on the industry's underhanded tactics to manipulate public perception. Stockwell recounts instances where universities and researchers received funding from alcohol companies, which often led to biased results favouring the industry. He discusses how these think tanks and industry-funded groups produce misleading reports that downplay the risks of alcohol consumption while exaggerating its supposed benefits.
His personal anecdotes about the threats and abuse he faced highlight the lengths to which Big Alcohol will go to protect its interests. Listeners will find Stockwell's narrative both eye-opening and alarming. He shares how warning labels on alcohol products in Canada led to reduced consumption and increased awareness of health risks, despite industry pushback. His stories are a stark reminder of the power dynamics at play and the importance of unbiased research.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the darker side of the alcohol industry and the challenges faced by those who dare to expose the truth. Are you ready to hear the real story behind alcohol research?
