HANGOVER HELPER BY THE SNARK The following information comes
mainly from the book "Life Extension" by Durk Pearson and Sandy
Shaw, as well as some personal research. Alcohol metabolism is a
fairly simple process. The liver processes alcohol by first
converting it to acetaldehyde, which is a toxic chemical.
Acetaldehyde can create abnormal chemical bonds in cells and can
increases free radicals in the body, which have been implicated
in cancer and the aging process. Usually, the liver quickly
converts acetaldehyde to acetate, which is much less harmful.
However, when you drink faster than the body can convert the
acetaldehyde to acetate, you can damage your body. Certain
nutrients can help protect you from acetaldehyde and free
radical damage. Combined with an analgesic, you can cure your
hangover and help lessen the damage you do to your body.
