What is Alcohol about?

Alcohol readily diffuses through cell membranes and is toxic in a dose-response relationship to numerous body parts of the body, including the digestive tract, liver, cardiovascular system, brain, reproductive system, excretory system and respiratory system, as well as adversely impacting fetal development. Alcohol also acts synergistically with numerous other toxins, including benzene, xylene, carbon tetrachloride, DEET insect repellant, cocaine and others. Alcohol enhances oxidative stress, resulting in mitochondrial damage, damaging cell membranes and impacting the immune system, leading to cytokine production and other mechanistic pathways. Alcohol elevates oxidative stress via the stimulation of cytochrome P450 enzymes and reduction of antioxidant levels. It is the primary cause of liver cirrhosis and is associated with the onset of other diseases.
