Alcohol is linked to at least 7 types of cancer, yet only 1% of alcohol products in the UK reviewed by @aha-uk.bsky.social and @alcoholfocus.bsky.social carry cancer warnings. Their new report highlights the need for mandatory health information on alcohol labels. 🔗 ahauk.org/resource/a-c...

#WHA79 isn’t just about formal sessions — it’s about strengthening collaboration. 🤝 Good to connect with colleagues from across our network this week, including @sightsavers.bsky.social, @malarianomoreuk.bsky.social and @wcrf.org.

Alcohol is a Group 1 carcinogen linked to 7 cancers - yet just 7% of the British public are aware of this fact. @sadikal-hassanmp.bsky.social's op-ed in @thehousemag.bsky.social highlights this low awareness and why the UK Govt’s commitment to introduce mandatory labels on alcohol is so vital.
