Physiologist Alexander Sozykin: the consequences of daily drinking can be deadly.
Physiologist Sozykin said that the cause of cancer can be the daily intake of any alcohol. The doctor recalled that the basis of alcoholic beverages – ethanol – is a toxin for the human body. All tissues and organs are susceptible to its action to one degree or another, especially the liver, which bears the main burden of breaking down alcohol.
“Daily drinking only causes negative consequences, including deadly ones. The central nervous system, memory, reaction, and motor functions suffer, and neurons in the cerebral cortex die irreversibly. Ethanol is especially toxic to the liver,” the expert warned in a comment to NEWS.ru.
Sozykin added that even moderate alcohol intake contributes to the growth of fatty deposits in the liver and the development of fatty degeneration of the organ. According to the doctor, active fat deposition provokes the release of substances in the liver cells that lead to inflammation. This, in turn, is associated with the development of many pathologies, including fibrosis, cirrhosis, and cancer.
The physiologist also drew attention to the particular danger of drinking alcohol by pregnant women. In this case, ethanol can damage the developing nervous system of the fetus in the mother's womb.
“The toxic effect of alcohol on the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary system, and heart has been proven. Allergies such as Quincke's edema and urticaria, provoking cancer, are possible. Ethanol is a clear poison,” summarized Alexander Sozykin.
