Gastroenterologist Vladimir Neronov: some types of alcohol have the most toxic effect on the body.
Doctor Neronov named the most harmful alcohol for health in a commentary for RIA Novosti. According to the expert, this category includes various types of surrogate alcohol.
“The greatest danger to human health is posed by nitrogenous alcohols, methyl alcohol and other types of surrogate alcohol,” Neronov warned.
The doctor specified that the toxic potential of these types of alcohol is especially significant. When consumed, the liver, heart and nervous system of a person can suffer much faster. The consequences can be severe intoxication, various neurological lesions, and death.
Neronov drew attention to the fact that there is no healthy dose of alcohol for the human body, even if we are talking about drinks of sufficiently high quality. Alcohol is toxic in any quantity, and in some cases a glass is enough to provoke a pathological process.
“Alcohol can cause liver inflammation, damage to brain cells, disruption of the heart, and contribute to the development of various diseases, including cancer,” the expert said.
Neronov also drew attention to the fact that people who abuse alcohol suffer mentally – negative changes in behavior, mood, and personality occur. He named the development of depression, anxiety, and aggression as typical consequences of frequent drinking.
