Surgeon General's New Advisory Highlights Cancer Risks Linked to Alcohol Consumption

Credited from: REUTERS

  • U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy has issued a new advisory linking alcohol consumption to an increased risk of at least seven types of cancer.
  • Dr. Murthy is advocating for warning labels on all alcoholic beverages to raise public awareness about the cancer risks associated with alcohol.
  • The advisory cites statistics indicating that alcohol is responsible for nearly 100,000 cancer cases annually, accounting for approximately 20,000 related deaths in the U.S.
  • Research consistently shows a strong relationship between alcohol and cancers of the mouth, throat, liver, breast, and others, with even light consumption increasing risk.
  • Awareness regarding alcohol as a cancer risk is low, with only 45% of Americans recognizing the link, which informs the need for updated warning labels similar to those on tobacco products.

Dr. Murthy’s advisory highlights the crucial need for education regarding alcohol's health risks. For further details, read the full article here.
