Going Dry This July? Start your journey with the facts.
In this powerful episode of Nutrition Science Bites, Prof Clare Collins and Dr Natalie Stapleton unpack the truth about alcohol - from its cultural grip to its impact on cancer risk, sleep, and mental health.
They talk about the cultural significance of alcohol in Australia, the health risks, particularly regarding cancer, and the importance of public health policies in mitigating harm. We talk about the need for awareness and education on alcohol's effects on health, and how societal norms influence drinking patterns.
