The CBC should require that health reporters provide both relative and absolute risk when presenting the latest health reports. The one that comes to mind is the moderate alcohol drinking and mortality relationship from breast cancer, where the relative risk increase is 10% but absolute increase is .28 Percent.  From 2.8% to 3.08%.
The CBC paraded women on TV with breast cancer, who were blaming themselves for their breast cancer because of their moderate drinking.
