of substances and drugs that actually need to process and attach to the surface of cells , to receptors .
But not ole MB , oh , no , his effects are actually much more prolific and immediate . First through the salivary glands , and then your mucus membranes on into the stomach into your blood through its lining . So the fact that he can pass into cells , and organs and so fast , so easily . Pretty much immediate bioavailability , is what partly explains his poisoning and damaging effects . MB is inside your body having his party , producing substantial free radical stress , massive inflammation , and damage to ALL cells he visits .
When you consume MB , which is ethanol , very close to the chemical structure of gasoline , “ ethanol ” is in itself a form of poison . Your body has to deal with that poison . How ? NAD nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide , a coenzyme , essential to metabolism . With NAD we have a limited supply no surpluses friends , and very important stuff . So , NAD , and related biochemical pathways , do something with this poison as our body is trying desperately to get rid of it ( metabolizing ). In this process , ethanol poison is converted into a purer , and stronger form of poison , which is even worse for the body . Acetyl aldehyde depletes our NAD levels every time we take a drink . MB damages , everything he touches . This poison , then converted is to alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver . So downstream your liver has to deal with this pollutant you ’ ve put into your body , resulting in a massive assault on your liver enzymes , and liver cells . MBs damage to the pancreas beta cells , responsible for the production of your insulin peptide , is in some cases irreversible yes , alcoholism can overtax your pancreas , making you type two diabetic . This can lead to your NK cells attacking your pancreas beta cells . Shutting down your pancreas ’ s insulin-producing cells permanently , type 1 insulin dependent for life .
He starts by creating insulin resistance , step 1 in creating type 2 diabetes . When you drink liquid , high sugar-containing substances , juice , beer , wine , and soda with what is already pure poisonous sugar ( alcohol is a form of sugar it has higher calories per gram , than any other carbohydrates . Liquid sugar with liquor , booze , with high fructose syrup . Friends beer is already alcohol mixed with high-impact , processed simple sugar . Now a wave of insulin rapidly forces these sugars into liver and fat cells . Simultaneously ethanol / acetyl aldehydes demolition work on all your body cells . Further , negative influences on your pH balance , alkaline to acidic , your digestive enzymes created by your pancreas , are nothing short of malevolent .
So ethanol into acetyl aldehyde , with me so far ? If you eat the regular Western diet and drink , the attack is on your liver , front and flank , and all sides . The typical Western diet ( processed food ) puts magnificent hepatotoxic stress on your liver , heart , and kidneys . Friends if you want in-depth information about details regarding this , read my article “ The Heart of The Matter ”. MB produces cumulative liver toxicity , corrupting and steadily elevating your critical liver enzymes . So , here comes AFLD . ( Alcohol-induced fatty liver disease ). The same kind of liver disease you get from eating The Western diet , ( NAFLD ) nonalcohol-induced fatty liver disease . Friends , you can ameliorate and then reverse these by stopping both . Now .
Hanging out with MB has a bludgeoning effect on your prefrontal cortex . Rendering you no resistance to eating and consuming high-calorie processed foods when drinking . So all of this , encourages this energy , not burned , to be stored as fat . Yes MB kills your
