Regulators must put a stop to this misleading practice because there is no safe level of alcohol – damage starts with the first drink.

Alcohol companies are increasingly using sugar and carb claims on products targeting young Australians.

Our research shows such claims create a false perception that there are healthy alcohol choices.

The introduction of mandatory pregnancy health warnings in Australia was a tremendous accomplishment, after more than 20 years of advocacy by people living with FASD, their families, health groups and community orgs. You can read more on that here: https://t.co/lw8YRnyGz1

[Aimee Brownbill @AimeeBrownbill]

New research on Australian mandatory pregnancy health warnings on alcohol products found 63% of products display the warning, with few displaying the warning on front-of-packs (0.3%). Spirit and wine producers used the warnings the least (50% & 65%) https://t.co/AvbYqdHpiP

Great to be at the Aus Public Health Conference to learn about the innovative work happening in the country. Particularly good to see representation on the marketing and harm of alcohol products across Aus. Important research.

Great to be part of the discussion on baby and toddler foods with @daisyhcoyle today.

Government regulation is a must to protect against unhealthy products & misleading marketing.

[Alexandra Chung @chung_alexandra]

Commercial foods for infants and toddlers fail to meet WHO requirements for nutrition, yet they can display health and nutrition claims on-pack. We must change this.

Great new paper by Elizabeth Dunford, Maree Scully & @daisyhcoyle @georgeinstitute

Four corporate products – tobacco, ultra-processed foods, fossil fuels and alcohol – cause 19 million deaths per year globally, or 34% of all deaths.

In the European Region alone, these industries are wholly or partly responsible for 2.7 million deaths per year.

Could zero-alcohol products be a gateway into earlier alcohol use?
A new study by Cancer Council and @georgeinstitute shows zero-alcohol products appeal to 56% of 15-17-year-olds surveyed. We urge the Fed Govt to better regulate the marketing of alcoholic-branded products.

Right for food and right to the city go in the same direction. A powerful demonstration by Jane Battersby and her co-authors.

@ASuwaEisenmann 🧵Why is it important to address urban and peri-urban food systems and FSN?

🔴Jane Battersby, HLPE-FSN drafting team leader shows that over 3/4 of the world’s food insecure population are in urban and peri-urban regions
