Did you hear? Over 100 members of Congress are demanding a stop to a government-funded study examining the health risks of alcohol. The reason? They claim the research group is biased against the industry and could influence the upcoming Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This has sparked a heated debate, with some saying it's an attempt to protect the alcohol industry, while others argue it's crucial to have unbiased research. Check out below why this issue matters. 👇 #AlcoholIndustry #HealthStudy #Congress #Regulation #Salestier

When it comes to alcohol consumption, there is no safe amount that does not affect health. Despite what NHS guidance says. The World Health Organization published a statement in The Lancet Public Health in 2023 to outline that the alochol within alcoholic drinks is a group one carcinogen. Rightly so, they have outlined to identify a “safe” level of alcohol consumption, valid scientific evidence would need to demonstrate that at and below a certain level, there is no risk of illness or injury associated with alcohol consumption. To this day, there is no valid scientific evidence to demonstrate this. So despite NHS guidelines outlining not to drink more than 14 units per week regularly to minimise adverse health effects.

Wow, here’s an interesting topic. Should sugary foods be treated like cigarettes with plain packaging? There’s a big debate happening around whether high-sugar foods targeting children should lose their bright, appealing designs. Some experts say plain packaging could help reduce obesity rates by making these products less attractive to kids. While this idea might seem extreme, it raises important questions about how we market food and its impact on public health. Is plain packaging the right move, or are there better ways to promote healthier choices? What are your thoughts? https://lnkd.in/erH7FvR5

Regulating digital marketing of tobacco, alcohol, food and non-alcoholic beverages, and breast-milk substitutes is crucial to protect public health. Unregulated advertising can lead to increased consumption of harmful products, especially among vulnerable populations like children and adolescents. Implementing strict regulations ensures that marketing practices do not exploit consumers or mislead them about the health impacts of these products. For instance, prohibiting the promotion of unhealthy foods and beverages can combat rising obesity rates, while regulating tobacco and alcohol ads can reduce addiction and related health issues. Effective regulation promotes informed choices and supports overall public health and well-being. #WHO #healthforall #awareness

We join public health and community sector organisations in urging the federal government to implement this week’s parliamentary inquiry recommendation to implement a sugary drink tax, based on sugar content and modelled on international best practice. Designed right, a sugary drink tax will have limited impact on household budgets, and deliver huge health benefits and cost savings from avoiding disease, especially for people on low incomes. The revenue raised by the tax should then be invested in preventive healthcare for those most in need.
The Federal Government is being urged to introduce a levy on super sugary drinks to reduce consumption and keep people safe from diabetes and other diseases. Doctors and economists (including the Australian Medical Association and the Grattan Institute) are backing the move. Done right, a sugary drink tax will only have a marginal impact on household budgets, while delivering huge health benefits and cost savings through avoided diseases. Our CEO Juanita Pope spoke to ABC Radio's Justin Smith.
