Shocking decision from the Irish Government - who have caved to alcohol industry pressure, colluding in their attempts to keep the public in the dark about the health risks posed by alcohol. We all have the right to know what's in the products we consume!!

Have an interest in #cancer, #nutrition or #exercise? Would you like to collaborate with @WCRF_UK? Together, we can shape the future of cancer care in the UK by placing nutrition & physical activity alongside other evidence-based interventions. More info wcrf.org/living-well/he…

This is such an important and timely initiative. As a colorectal surgeon, I see firsthand the growing burden of early-onset colorectal cancer, even in younger patients without traditional risk factors. Excited to see this global, multidisciplinary effort taking shape. Looking…
