EXCLUSIVE: Cannabis Physician Says Surgeon General's Alcohol Cancer Risk Warning Is 'Wake-Up Call'
Following Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's Friday advisory warning about cancer risks associated with alcohol consumption and calling for updates to health warning labels, Dr. Benjamin Caplan, chief medical officer at the CED Clinic in Massachusetts, Dr. Benjamin Caplan weighed in.
Caplan, a family physician with a unique focus on cannabis medicine, said Murthy's recommendations in which he cited mounting evidence of alcohol's role in cancer developmentare "a wake-up call."
The advisory “brings science in line with what many of us in medicine have long seen: alcohol isn't just a harmless social habit — it's a carcinogen," Caplan told Benzinga.
"For some, it's a nightly ritual; for others, a way to manage stress or sleeplessness. But the damage it leaves behind is undeniable. Alcohol isn't just a drink — it's a risk factor, woven into our culture and quietly eroding our health."
