The US Surgeon General has called for health warnings on alcoholic drinks to highlight the link between alcohol consumption and cancer.
The US Surgeon General has called for health warnings on alcoholic drinks to highlight that they cause cancer. This follows a report that shows risks rising modestly along with consumption, urging a reassessment of daily consumption limits . A link between alcohol use and cancer has been recognized since 1987, when the International Agency for Research on Cancer first classified alcohol as a carcinogen. Evidence for this link from studies in humans and animals has strengthened since then.
US dietary guidelines currently recommend two or fewer drinks per day for men and one drink or less per day for women. For certain cancers, like breast, mouth, and throat cancers, risks may start to increase around one or fewer drinks per day. The evidence that alcohol consumption increases the risk of malignancy is strongest for cancers of the breast, colon and rectum, esophagus, liver, mouth, throat, and larynx.
