TWIW 41: Alcohol recommendations reduced due to cancer links

This Week In Wellness, in what will not be a very timely announcement for many, the NHMRC’s new draft guidelines recommend that people drink “no more than 10 standard drinks per week” to reduce the health risks, especially cancer. The NHMRC have also retained the recommendation to not drink more than four drinks in one sitting. They state that the link between drinking and developing a number of different cancers is now more certain. These latest recommendations come after three years of research into the pros and cons of alcohol. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-16/alcohol-drinking-guidelines-revised-down-on-cancer-links/11798992?pfmredir=sm https://www.nhmrc.gov.au/health-advice/alcohol The post TWIW 41: Alcohol recommendations reduced due to cancer links appeared first on The Wellness Couch.
