CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Alcohol is harming our health and MyNutriWeb, World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the Alcohol Health Alliance have come together to explore the evidence and action for change.

ALCOHOL AND HEALTH: THE FACTS

  • 70 people die every day from alcohol-related causes in the UK
  • Alcohol harm costs NHS England £3.5 billion annually
  • Alcohol is now the third biggest risk factor to health behind tobacco and high blood pressure
  • There is strong evidence that drinking alcohol increases the risk of breast, bowel, liver, mouth, throat, oesophagus and stomach cancer

This webinar will explore the evidence behind WCRF’s recommendation to avoid alcohol. We will also look at the rising levels of alcohol-related harm in the UK, the evidence-based solutions and the latest campaigns for change – where reducing the affordability, promotion and availability of alcohol are proven to reduce its harm.
