保力達B與維士比為含酒精的口服液,加入中藥萃取物、維他命、胺基酸、高濃度咖啡因及酒精(8~10%),被衛生主管機關歸類為『甲類成藥』管理,每日建議用量在90~120毫升以內。然而業者長期將其定位為功能性飲料,廣告強調消除疲勞、維護肝臟功能、恢復體力,並透過檳榔攤與雜貨店等非法管道販售給勞工。

〔健康頻道/綜合報導〕放射腫瘤科醫師鄭鴻鈞曾示警,保力達B、維士比等含酒精「指示藥」長期以低價、非法管道流竄勞動市場,享有免菸酒稅優勢,可能大幅增加基層勞工罹患癌症、肝硬化及工安風險,殘害勞工健康。對此,衛福部部長石崇良表示將強化用藥宣導,並責成食藥署與業者研商是否調整產品分類。對此,國家衛生研究院研究員鄭婉汝醫師、臺大公衛學院鄭雅文教授提出意見。
保力達B與維士比分別於1968及1974年上市,其實是含有酒精的口服液,再加上中藥萃取物、維他命、胺基酸、高濃度的咖啡因 (14 mg/oz或300 mg/600 ml)以及高濃度的酒精(8~10%),被衛生主管機關歸類為「甲類成藥」管理,每日建議用量在90~120毫升以內。
請繼續往下閱讀...
長久以來,業者將之定位為功能性飲料,廣告行銷策略強調該產品有助於「消除疲勞」、「維護肝臟功能」、「恢復體力」;消費者大量飲用的情形並不少見。依據規範,維士比與保力達 B屬「甲類成藥」, 依據《藥事法》規定僅能在藥局販售。然而根據學者李復惠和李明芳等人的調查,勞工最常購買的地點是檳榔攤與雜貨店。
「披著提神外衣」的酒精飲料,勾勒出台灣藍領勞工特有的職場文化,連結民眾耳熟能詳的廣告台詞,卻也掩蓋了長年被忽視的健康與工安危機。這個議題已受學界關注與呼籲多年,卻未能建立有效的應對政策。
根據國家衛生研究院研究員鄭婉汝醫師和臺大公衛學院鄭雅文教授一項回顧國內外近60篇實證文獻的跨國研究指出,東西方在飲用生態上存在極大落差:西方國家提神飲料混搭酒精性飲料的主要消費群多為追求社交刺激的大學生;反觀台灣,含酒精提神飲料則高度集中在勞力密集族群,其中營建工作與體力工作者更是重災區,每五名勞工就有一人具有飲用習慣,長期將之作為提神聖品。值得注意的是,大部分勞工並不清楚此類含酒精口服液的每日建議飲用量,亦不清楚其酒精濃度,錯誤認知的比例高達75%。
在台灣,此類飲品與工作傷害、高風險行為及酒精成癮呈現高度正相關。此外,國際研究已充份證實,同時攝取酒精與提神成分會干擾大腦對醉意的感知,進而大幅提高危險行為與事故風險,這個現象也在國內一項由鄭婉汝和黃名琪合作研究中獲得證實,簡單來說,由於咖啡因對精神的刺激性,含酒提神飲料容易使飲用者喝下更多酒精並低估酒精中毒問題,而提高安全與健康風險。
台灣的含酒精提神飲料有諸多問題,包括產品本身不安全、產品本身定位不明、廣告內容不當、販售通路不合法、職場飲酒行為缺乏管理、職業安全健康危害缺乏監測等等;這些問題皆顯示政府單位對此議題缺乏跨部會的合作管理。近十年來國際管理趨勢多已轉向全面禁售含咖啡因的酒精飲品,面對勞工職業傷害與慢性成癮風險,政府亟需借鏡國際經驗,重新檢討產品分類與通路管制,補齊法規與公衛防護的缺口。呼籲主管機關正視管理漏洞、並強化管制力道。

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute affiliated with Harvard Medical School and the 23andMe team analyzed the genetic data of more than 3.3 million people and found that the rare congenital EGFR T790M mutation is highly correlated with the risk of lung cancer in never-smokers. The relative risk of carriers is more than 60 times higher in never-smokers. However, this mutation is extremely rare. On average, only one person per 15,000 people in the United States carries it.
