Biologic effects of chronic ethanol consumption related to a deficient intake of carbohydrates
Abstract:
Our present understanding of the many effects of chronic ethanol consumption originated mostly from the use of an experimental model in which animals were maintained on a liquid diet that provided 36% of the total calories as alcohol. Since this diet was considered to be nutritionally adequate, a concept developed that the observed effects were due to the toxicity of alcohol and its metabolites rather than malnutrition. However, several biologic effects can be attributed to a reduced carbohydrate ingestion that accompanies chronic alcohol consumption.

Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in the...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
