Description

Guest: Jessica Mudry, associate professor at Toronto Metropolitan University When the change in recommended guidelines for alcohol use was served last month, the reaction was spirited. While once the guideline said 10 to 15 drinks per week was the recommended maximum, the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) now says no amount of alcohol is good for your health and anything beyond two glasses a week increases your risk for alcohol-related consequences, from injury to cancer. The updated recommendations, funded by Health Canada and based on solid research, have not been well received and met with disbelief, displeasure and denial. Jessica Mudry, an associate professor at Toronto Metropolitan University’s School of Professional Communication, joins “This Matters” to talk about how the guidelines are being received and how they could have been better communicated. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Brian Bradley and Paolo Marques. Audio Sources: CHCH News
