According to information, alcohol consumption may increase the risk of several types of cancer, including breast, colorectal, liver, as well as oral cavity and throat cancers. It is noted that even low doses of alcohol, at the level of one drink per day, can significantly raise the likelihood of developing cancer.
The new statements have triggered a wave of concern among investors, as they could lead to stricter regulations on labeling and a decrease in demand for alcoholic products.
The question of alcohol's impact on health is becoming increasingly relevant in many countries.
