No safe level of alcohol. Interesting article
"The toxicity of alcohol is worsened because in order for it to be cleared from the body it has to be metabolised to acetaldehyde, an even more toxic substance. Any food or drink contaminated with the amount of acetaldehyde that a unit of alcohol produces would be immediately banned as having an unacceptable health risk."
Wow, so it's byproduct, produced in order for it to leave our body is even more poisonous?
Interesting article, thanks Coal.While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.

No safe level of alcohol. Interesting article
Thanks for sharing this interesting article. I thought the comments at the end were quite interesting as well. i agree that as a society, we seem to overlook the health risks of alcohol consumption and even go so far as to claim a little is good for you. Of course a few years ago I would have poo pooed any of this because I loved to drink so much.
I saved the article, and plan to share it either on Facebook or utilize it for our local coalition.
