Kenji López-Cuevas: Alcohol and Cancer – An undeniable link
Kenji López-Cuevas, Treasurer at Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Grateful to Mexican newspaper Excélsior for publishing my article “Alcohol and Cancer: An undeniable link”, highlighting scientific evidence and public support to take action now.
5 key takeaways:
- Evidence: Alcohol is linked to at least 7 types of cancer; even “moderate” consumption increases the risk.
- Perception: 90% of Mexicans see it as a problem; 81% link it to violence against women.
- Solution: World Health Organization states that raising alcohol taxes is the most effective measure to reduce harm.
- Example: The Philippines funded 85% of its universal health coverage by doubling the price of cheap alcoholic drinks.
- Prevention: Preventing one alcohol-related cancer case means health savings and lives protected.”
