Timothy Rebbeck: Public health messaging about the risks of cancer associated with alcohol consumption
Timothy Rebbeck, Vincent L. Gregory, Jr. Professor of Cancer Prevention at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, shared a post on LinkedIn:
” ‘Numerous studies confirm that alcohol consumption is linked to several cancers including mouth, esophagus, breast, liver, and colon cancers. More recent data have confirmed that even occasional alcohol consumption is associated with the risk of some cancers.
In response to this robust body of evidence, today’s Surgeon General’s report proposes stronger warning labels be used as a part of public health messaging about the risks of cancer associated with alcohol consumption.
The statement by the Surgeon General also appropriately emphasizes the importance of limiting alcohol consumption to reduce cancer risk.’ ”
