U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy’s latest report on the link between alcohol consumption and cancer doesn’t make sense

U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy ’s latest advisory report on “the causal link between alcohol consumption and increased risk for at least seven different types of cancer” has America spooked.

We experienced the same tactics in Canada .

The CDC estimates that smoking increases cancer risk by 15-30 times when compared to non-smokers. Smoking comes with an increased cancer risk that is more than 1,000% .

David Clement is the North American Affairs Director for the Consumer Choice Center .

He says the U.S. Surgeon General’s words carry incredible weight throughout the world.

Clement: Comparing the risks of moderate drinking to smoking is statistically false and misleading for consumers.

If public health authorities increase their focus on alcohol, it should be on heavy drinkers.
