The AI appears to be engaged in the extensive misrepresentation of evidence about the alcohol-related risk of cancer. These activities have parallels with those of the tobacco industry.

Policymakers, academics, public health and other practitioners should reconsider the appropriateness of their relationships to these AI bodies.
