Manoj Reddy: Let’s turn facts into actionable change

Manoj Reddy, posted the following on LinkedIn:

“We frequently discuss the link between smoking and cancer. But what about alcohol?

Here’s the reality:

  • 100,000 cancer cases and 20,000 deaths annually in the U.S.
  • Even one daily drink increases cancer risk
  • Most people don’t know the dangers

The numbers don’t lie:

  • Globally, alcohol is linked to 740,000 cancer cases each year
  • Moderate drinking raises the risk for seven types of cancer
  • Alcohol increases lung cancer risk, even in non-smokers

So, what can we do? The first step is awareness.

Let’s turn these facts into actionable change:

  • Share resources from trusted organizations like NCI, CDC, and WCRF
  • Collaborate with experts to amplify evidence-based solutions
  • Start conversations to ensure this issue is heard

Every small action counts. Together, we can make a difference.
