People who are long drink without getting drunk, you should carefully monitor their health, habits and diet. Scientists have linked the rate of intoxication and susceptibility to cancer of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx. It was found that there is a relationship between them, which researchers believe is linked to the activity of the gene that determines the rate of alcohol intoxication.
intoxication
Experts from the University of Aberdeen in the United Kingdom conducted a large-scale international study in which experts have been studied four thousand cases of cancer of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx among Europeans and Latin Americans. As you know, representatives of these nations possess genetic characteristics in the absorption of alcohol. Thus, the researchers were able to determine the specific role of the gene responsible for the body's ability to metabolize alcohol.
As explained by doctors, to date, science knows many variations of the gene encoding alcohol dehydrogenase - the enzyme responsible for breaking down alcohol. Depending on the variety of genes, inherited person comes intoxication - more active genetics, the easier it is to digest alcohol and more stable man to a state of intoxication. In turn, people are completely lacking this gene experience serious intoxication in the use of minimal doses of alcohol.
The ability to quickly get drunk even small doses of alcohol is extremely inconvenient in everyday life, but research has shown that people with this ability are less prone to tumors of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx. Resistance to intoxication, on the contrary, increases the risk of these cancers - according to experts, because in this case the person is able to drink quite a sizeable amount of alcohol, and thus its effect on the mucous membrane of these organs is longer ..
This risk is particularly high if the addiction to alcohol or tobacco combined with a small amount of fruit and vegetables in the diet, doctors believe. (READ MORE)
