This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Make balancenortheast.co.uk remove false information relating to breast cancer.
Advertising propeganda being produced by balancenortheast.co.uk is factually inaccurate and insulting to the many women living with a breast cancer diagnosis. And does not raise awareness of the types of cancer that are actually caused by alcohol abuse !
More details
Research by cancer research UK in December 2018 found that only 8% of breast cancers were linked to alcohol consumption.
Many women like myself with a breast cancer diagnosis are not "drinkers" this campaign is extremely insulting to women and does not highlight the six main cancers that can be caused by drinking alcohol
