Evidence shows that increasing awareness of alcohol’s cancer risks leads to support for alcohol prevention and control measures-in turn leading to reductions in cancer mortality. bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… #WorldCancerDay #IAmAndIWill @NCDAK WHO Kenya NACADA Kenya Ministry of Health

The dose–effect relationship between alcohol and cancer is clear: the higher the alcohol consumption, the higher the risk of cancer. The reverse is also true: reduction in alcohol consumption reduces the risk of alcohol-linked cancer. #WorldCancerDay #IAmAndIWill @NCDAK
