Molson Coors, Diageo, Boston Beer Plunge As Surgeon General Warns 'Alcohol Consumption Increases' Cancer Risk
Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy issued an advisory Friday warning about the cancer risks associated with alcohol consumption and calling for updates to health warning labels that haven't been revised since 1988. Murphy also stressed the need to reassess recommended alcohol limits, citing mounting evidence of its role in cancer development.
The advisory sent alcohol stocks plunging across the board in Friday morning trading.
美國外科醫生總監維維克·H·穆爾希週五發佈了一份通知,警告有關飲酒與癌症風險相關的內容,並呼籲更新自1988年以來未修訂的健康警告標籤。穆爾希還強調了重新評估推薦的飲酒限額的必要性,引用了其在癌症發展中所起作用的越來越多證據。
這項通知使週五早盤的酒類股票普遍下跌。
"Higher alcohol consumption increases alcohol-related cancer risk, yet only 45% of American adults are aware that consuming alcohol increases their risk of developing cancer," Murthy wrote on X.
穆爾希在X網上寫道:「更高的酒精消費增加與酒精相關的癌症風險,但只有45%的美國成年人意識到飲酒增加他們患癌症的風險。」
"Alcohol is a well-established, preventable cause of cancer responsible for about 100,000 cases and 20,000 deaths annually in the United States," Murthy stated. He added that alcohol consumption ranks as the third-leading preventable cause of cancer in the U.S., trailing only tobacco and obesity.
穆爾希表示:「酒精是一個普遍公認的可預防癌症原因,每年在美國造成約100,000例病例和20,000例死亡。」他補充說,酒精消費排名美國第三大可預防癌症原因,僅次於煙草和肥胖。
Murthy's advisory, noted the Washington Post, pointed to a direct association between alcohol consumption and at least seven types of cancer, including breast, liver and colorectal cancers. The Post pointed out that 16.4% of annual breast cancer cases are attributed to alcohol and that any mandatory changes to the health warning labels would need to be approved by the new Congress coming in under President-elect Donald Trump.
穆爾希的通知指出,《華盛頓郵報》提到飲酒消費與至少七種癌症之間存在直接關聯,包括乳腺癌、肝癌和結直腸癌。郵報指出,16.4%的年度乳腺癌病例歸因於飲酒,任何對健康警告標籤的強制性修改都需要得到新一屆國會在當選總統特朗普概念下的批准。
