Booze Companies Should Slap Warning Labels On Their Product ASAP
Alcohol is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen. Like tobacco it is known to cause cancer in humans. But the industry is silent about this.
This week the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction published updated guidelines on the safe consumption of alcohol. The short version is less is better.
These guidelines point to data of alcohol causing several types of cancer along with heart disease.
Tobacco companies were forced to put warning labels on their products. The alcohol industry, on the other hand, is quiet as could be on the subject.
If government intervention won’t force them to do something perhaps civil litigation could.
