29 Oct 2018 --- Cancer Council Victoria has launched a “confronting” public awareness campaign to inform Australians about the link between obesity and 13 types of cancer. The campaign seeks to address the fact that nearly two-thirds of Australians are overweight or obese, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, and that one crucial way to lose weight is to cut sugary drinks from the diet. The “gruesome” images of the campaign have been likened to the public health approach used to warn smokers of the dangers of tobacco.
