Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Australia/Perth' for 'WST/8.0/no DST' instead in /home/ncidorga/public_html/libraries/joomla/utilities/date.php on line 56

NCID response to “Labelling Logic” - Report to the COAG Review of Food Labelling Law and Policy

 NCID notes with significant concern that Australia is one of only a very few developed countries that does not carry any health warnings on the most widely and heavily consumed drug in the general community, alcohol. NCID urges the COAG Review to mandate the necessity for all alcohol to carry clear messages regarding the significant health hazards associated with the consumption of alcohol particularly during pregnancy.

 

Significant consumption of alcohol during pregnancy has been proven to cause major foetal damage: Prenatal alcohol exposure, and the resulting FASD, is recognized as the commonest preventable cause of intellectual disability. (K.D.O'Malley, 2007)
