Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the phenomena of alcohol's effects on living organisms, particularly the human body, and the potential dangers of even moderate use of this popular substance. The author presents a series of experiments in which animals given small amounts of alcohol over time became more susceptible to the toxic effects of acetonitrile, a substance whose poisonous effects are generally attributed to the slow formation of cyanide in the body. The experiments suggest that alcohol may increase an organism's ability to break down the acetonitrile molecule and that this happens because the animals develop increased powers of oxidation. The author also notes that their results provide evidence that in some respects the physiological processes in moderate drinkers are distinctly different from those in abstainers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
