Alcohol, Cancer and Dry February

A recent survey commissioned by the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) reveals 77% of Atlantic Canadians who consume alcohol say reducing their risk of developing cancer is an important health benefit. But the challenge is that only one in three Canadians are aware of the link between alcohol and cancer. That's a pretty good reason to consider going "dry" and to abstain from alcohol this February. Kelly Wilson Cull is with the Canadian Cancer Society in Nova Scotia. She outlines some of the research explaining the risks and the rewards with signing up for this month long promotion and public health exercise.
