*** Other Bits of Information on Alcoholism *** (From the readings and writing of Dr. Lendon Smith. Edited by Dorothy Q. McDonald.)
** How Does Our Race Affect Our Predisposition To Alcohol? **
* Jews and Italians have been exposed to fermented sugar for 8 to 10,000 years and the risk of alcoholism is but 1 in 100 people. Northern Europeans and Irish have been exposed to alcohol for 1,500 years so their risk is moderate: one in 10 of this group becomes alcoholic. The American Indians were introduced to alcohol but 300 years ago; 80 to 90% of them are alcoholics. It all has nothing to do with poverty, bad self-image, or whether the person was breastfed or not.
* What About The Law of the Survival of the Fittest? **
* Mother Nature over the centuries has killed off the susceptible: the high-risk individuals have fewer children and hence the gene pool shifts. Wherever alcohol became available, there were high rates early and then the incidence tapers off. The hereditary tendency shows itself in the almost universal trait of hypoglycemia. Many have also inherited an inability to metabolize acetaldehyde, a byproduct of alcohol ingestion. Acetaldehyde in the system makes one feel simply awful. The alcoholic drinks to feel better; they make more acetaldehyde. It's a Catch 22. Alcohol is a worthless chemical, but it does help the hypoglycemic feel better for a few minutes.
** Does Our Diet Affect Our Addiction to Alcohol? **
Roger Williams, Ph.D., in his work with animals, noted that if the animals were given a junk-food diet, they were more likely to drink alcohol than pure water. When all the necessary elements in the diet were supplied, the animals refused to drink alcohol. He cites the research in the J Am Diet Assoc., 61(2): 159-162, and 1972. One group of rats which was fed a typical teenage junk food diet continuously increased its alcohol consumption, while another group which received a well-balanced control diet maintained a low level of alcohol intake. Also, when either caffeine or coffee was added to their diets, both groups significantly increased their alcohol intake. Results suggest that "metabolic controls to drinking exist which are sensitive to dietary factors." Melvyn Werbach, MD, in Townsend Newsletter for Doctors, October 1994.
** Did Desire for Alcohol Create Modern Civilization? **
Anthropologists are now concluding that the need for an assured supply of barley for making beer was one of the driving forces which created modern agriculture about 10,000 years ago. If true, we can conclude the need for alcohol created modern civilization.
* In the US, 250,000 die each year from alcohol related diseases. 30,000 die from cirrhosis of the liver.
* 10% of the drinking population drink 50 percent of all the alcohol sold. It is a disease that absolutely controls the victim.
* Every alcoholic suffers from malnutrition, even those who appear to be healthy. Most alcoholics have food allergies, sugar, grains, and alcohol. Wrong Diagnosis, Wrong Treatment, Joseph D. Beasley, MD, reviewed by Abram Hoffer, 1989.
* Alcohol gives energy faster than any food.
* Alcoholism has physiological factors, genetically determined. It is not a psychological or emotional problem. It is hereditary.
