Breast Cancer Awareness Month Special

Lived experience stories and calls to action by affected people, as well as world class science about the link between alcohol and breast cancer.

We care about cancer. We want our families and communities to be protected from cancer as much as possible. And we want our governments to take action for cancer prevention and control.
But the alcohol industry wants the opposite: they want to keep people in the dark about the fact that their products cause cancer. And they want to exploit breast cancer awareness to look good and sell more of the products.

Read Carolin’s and Amy’s stories and their calls to action.

Read Kristina’s and Runa’s and Therese’s analysis of why science matters and Big Alcohol’s conflict of interest.
