Alcoholic drinks should carry a label warning consumers about their cancer risks, the US surgeon general said in an advisory today.
Surgeon General Vivek Murthy’s office noted that consuming alcohol increases the risk for “at least seven types of cancer,” including breast, colon and liver.
“Alcohol consumption is the third-leading preventable cause of cancer in the United States, after tobacco and obesity, increasing risk for at least seven types of cancer,” Murthy’s office said in a statement accompanying the new report.
It is responsible for 100,000 cancer cases and 20,000 cancer deaths in the country each year, more than the 13,500 alcohol-associated traffic crash deaths, it added.
Just a new form of prohibition! Another way to tax the hell out it!
Humans have been consuming alcoholic beverages for thousands of years.
It’s not going to stop by trying some type of scare tactic.
Everything in moderation!
How does Biden’s PROPOSED new smoking ban affect the local county there to include ‘weed’?
A warning label should have been placed on Les Moore’s forehead!!!
