Alcohol Industry Actively Suppressing Cancer Links

in #health7 years ago

This has been concerning me for a while really. With all the research that has been making the clear link between cancer and even minor Alcohol intake, why has the mainstream media been so silent on it?

As you can see from this Routers article (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-alcohol/drinks-industry-distorts-alcohol-cancer-risk-scientists-idUSKCN1BI2W2) alcohol companies are employing the same tactics as tobacco companies to actively subvert the now known links between alcohol consumption and cancer.

How long will it be until we start to see warnings on Alcohol beverages like we do on the front of cigarette packets in many countries around the world? Unfortunately it might be a while as to the sheer money that is generated by the Alcohol industry as a whole. I think spreading this warning will help us all be aware to keep our alcohol intake as low as possible to avoid premature death.
