New research delivers a timely reminder this holiday season: even moderate drinking can raise your risk for several cancers. A review of 62 studies of up to 100 million adults, found that both how often and how much you drink matter – especially for breast, colorectal, liver and digestive cancers. What you drink also matters – beer and white wine were linked to higher risks in some cases. Added dangers rose for certain racial and socioeconomic groups and from smoking, low activity, infections and poor diet. 

The transportation sector, the second-largest emitter of global greenhouse gases, is undergoing a transformation with electrification and subsidies aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. Yet, a critical aspect often overlooked is the role of logistics in global trade and how geopolitical decisions can undermine these efforts. This study sheds light on the impact of suboptimal logistics on greenhouse gas emissions, using recent geopolitical restrictions between Russia and Western countries since 2022 and a scenario of reduced trade through the Red Sea observed in 2024.
