Following the release of new alcohol consumption guidelines by the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction on Tuesday, health experts say mandatory labelling on alcoholic beverages plays a key role in raising awareness around the negative health impacts of drinking alcohol.
Given the links to cancer, the Canadian Cancer Society is also calling on the federal government to implement mandatory labelling on alcoholic beverages, said Elizabeth Holmes, senior manager of health policy at the CSS.“Over 40 per cent of Canadians are not aware that alcohol increases cancer risk,” she told CTV News Channel on Tuesday. “The less alcohol you drink, the lower your cancer risk.
While this has prompted changes to the CCSA’s latest guidelines, there must also be a shift in thinking around the health risks posed by alcohol consumption, said Caudarella.
