The cancer risk with "light" drinking
Update: 2025-09-12
Description
There has been back-and-forth on the health risks of light or moderate alcohol consumption. Recent reviews have tried to narrow down the cancer risks associated with drinking.
Also, the heart benefits of GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy could be dependent on your BMI, based on a new study in people with type 2 diabetes.
And an update from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) on GLP-1 prescribing practices.
