Will Health Canada update site with new alcohol guidance? Duclos won’t say
to update findings on its website to inform the public about safe levels of consumption.
The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction released a Health Canada-funded report in January that says scientific evidence from around the world suggests no amount of alcohol is safe and low-risk is defined as two drinks per week, instead of two drinks per day, based on its previously recommended limits from 2011. But the old information remains on the federal agency’s site.
“We believe it is essential to have this work done before proceeding to finalizing specific guidance tools and methods of communication.” Dr. Peter Butt, who co-chaired the CCSA’s guidance project, said basic information should be provided by Health Canada to show the federal government’s support of the project it paid for.
