ALCOHOL HAS NO FOOD VALUE

Liquor has no nourishment esteem and is exceedingly constrained in its activity as a healing specialist. Dr. Henry Monroe says, "each sort of substance utilized by man as sustenance comprises of sugar, starch, oil and glutinous issue blended together in different extents. These are intended for the help of the creature outline. The glutinous standards of nourishment fibrine, egg whites and casein are utilized to develop the structure while the oil, starch and sugar are mainly used to create heat in the body".

Presently obviously if liquor is a sustenance, it will be found to contain at least one of these substances. There must be in it either the nitrogenous components found predominantly in meats, eggs, milk, vegetables and seeds, out of which creature tissue is fabricated and waste fixed or the carbonaceous components found in fat, starch and sugar, in the utilization of which warmth and power are developed.

"The peculiarity of these gatherings of sustenances," says Dr. Chase, "and their relations to the tissue-creating and heat-advancing limits of man, are so unmistakable thus affirmed by trials on creatures and by complex trial of logical, physiological and clinical experience, that no endeavor to dispose of the characterization has won. To draw so straight a line of boundary as to constrain the one completely to tissue or cell generation and the other to warmth and power creation through conventional burning and to preclude any power from claiming compatibility under exceptional requests or in the midst of imperfect supply of one assortment is, to be sure, indefensible. This does not at all negate the way that we can utilize these as found out tourist spots".

How these substances when taken into the body, are acclimatized and how they produce power, are notable to the physicist and physiologist, who is capable, in the light of well-discovered laws, to decide if liquor does or does not have a nourishment esteem. For quite a long time, the ablest men in the restorative calling have given this subject the most cautious examination, and have exposed liquor to each known test and analyze, and the outcome is that it has been, by regular assent, avoided from the class of tissue-building sustenances. "We have never," says Dr. Chase, "seen however a solitary recommendation that it could so act, and this an unbridled supposition. One essayist (Hammond) supposes it conceivable that it might 'by one way or another' go into mix with the results of rot in tissues, and 'in specific situations may yield their nitrogen to the development of new tissues.' No parallel in natural science, nor any proof in creature science, can be found to encompass this speculation with the areola of a conceivable theory".

Dr. Richardson says: "Liquor contains no nitrogen; it has none of the characteristics of structure-building nourishments; it is unequipped for being changed into any of them; it is, in this manner, not a sustenance in any feeling of its being a productive specialist in structure up the body." Dr. W.B. Woodworker says: "Liquor can't supply anything which is fundamental to the genuine sustenance of the tissues." Dr. Liebig says: "Brew, wine, spirits, and so forth., outfit no component equipped for going into the sythesis of the blood, solid fiber, or any part which is the seat of the standard of life." Dr. Hammond, in his Tribune Talks, in which he advocates the utilization of liquor in specific cases, says: "It isn't self evident that liquor experiences change into tissue." Cameron, in his Manuel of Cleanliness, says: "There is nothing in liquor with which any piece of the body can be supported." Dr. E. Smith, F.R.S., says: "Liquor is definitely not a genuine sustenance. It meddles with nourishment." Dr. T.K. Chambers says: "Unmistakably we should stop to respect liquor, as in any sense, a nourishment".

"Not identifying in this substance," says Dr. Chase, "any tissue-production fixings, nor in its separating any mixes, for example, we can follow in the cell nourishments, nor any proof either in the experience of physiologists or the preliminaries of alimentarians, it isn't brilliant that in it we should discover neither the hope nor the acknowledgment of helpful power."

Not finding in liquor anything out of which the body can be developed or its waste provided, it is beside be analyzed as to its warmth creating quality.

Generation of warmth.

"The principal normal test for a power creating nourishment," says Dr. Chase, "and that to which different nourishments of that class react, is the creation of warmth in the mix of oxygen therewith. This warmth implies crucial power, and is, in no little degree, a proportion of the near estimation of the purported respiratory nourishments. In the event that we analyze the fats, the starches and the sugars, we can follow and gauge the procedures by which they advance warmth and are changed into fundamental power, and can gauge the limits of various sustenances. We find that the utilization of carbon by association with oxygen is the law, that warmth is the item, and that the authentic outcome is power, while the aftereffect of the association of the hydrogen of the nourishments with oxygen is water. In the event that liquor comes at all under this class of nourishments, we properly hope to discover a portion of the confirmations which join to the hydrocarbons."

What, at that point, is the consequence of analyses toward this path? They have been led through significant lots and with the best consideration, by men of the most astounding achievements in science and physiology, and the outcome is given in these few words, by Dr. H.R. Wood, Jr., in his Materia Medica. "Nobody has had the option to identify in the blood any of the common aftereffects of its oxidation." That is, nobody has had the option to find that liquor has experienced burning, similar to fat, or starch, or sugar, thus offered warmth to the body.

Liquor and decrease of temperature.

rather than expanding it; and it has even been utilized in fevers as an enemy of pyretic. So uniform has been the declaration of doctors in Europe and America with regards to the cooling impacts of liquor, that Dr. Wood says, in his Materia Medica, "that it doesn't appear to be worth while to consume space with a discourse of the subject." Liebermeister, one of the most learned supporters of Zeimssen's Cyclopaedia of the Act of Prescription, 1875, says: "I since a long time ago persuaded myself, by direct tests, that liquor, even in similarly enormous portions, does not raise the temperature of the body in either well or wiped out individuals." So very much had this turned out to be known to Ice voyagers, that, even before physiologists had shown the way that liquor decreased, rather than expanding, the temperature of the body, they had discovered that spirits reduced their capacity to withstand extraordinary virus. "In the Northern areas," says Edward Smith, "it was demonstrated that the whole avoidance of spirits was vital, so as to hold heat under these ominous conditions."

Liquor does not make you solid.

In the event that liquor does not contain tissue-building material, nor offer warmth to the body, it can't in any way, shape or form add to its quality. "Each sort of intensity a creature can produce," says Dr. G. Budd, F.R.S., "the mechanical intensity of the muscles, the substance (or stomach related) intensity of the stomach, the scholarly intensity of the mind collects through the nourishment of the organ on which it depends." Dr. F.R. Dregs, of Edinburgh, in the wake of examining the inquiry, and eliciting proof, comments: "From the very idea of things, it will currently be perceived how inconceivable it is that liquor can be reinforcing sustenance of either kind. Since it can't turn into a piece of the body, it can't thusly add to its strong, natural quality, or fixed power; and, since it leaves the body similarly as it went in, it can't, by its decay, create warmth power."

Sir Benjamin Brodie says: "Stimulants don't make anxious power; they just empower you, in a manner of speaking, to go through that which is left, and after that they leave you more needing rest than previously."

Noble Liebig, so far back as 1843, in his "Creature Science," brought up the misrepresentation of liquor producing power. He says: "The course will seem quickened to the detriment of the power accessible for deliberate movement, yet without the creation of a more prominent measure of mechanical power." In his later "Letters," he again says: "Wine is very unnecessary to man, it is continually trailed by the use of intensity" though, the genuine capacity of sustenance is to give control. He includes: "These beverages advance the difference in issue in the body, and are, subsequently, gone to by an internal loss of intensity, which stops to be profitable, in light of the fact that it isn't utilized in beating outward troubles i.e., in working." at the end of the day, this incredible scientific expert attests that liquor abstracts the intensity of the framework from doing helpful work in the field or workshop, so as to wash down the house from the debasement of liquor itself.

The late Dr. W. Brinton, Doctor to St. Thomas', in his incredible work on Dietetics, says: "Cautious perception leaves little uncertainty that a moderate portion of brew or wine would, much of the time, without a moment's delay lessen the greatest weight which a sound individual could lift. Mental intensity, exactness of discernment and delicacy of the faculties are for the most part so far restricted by liquor, as that the greatest endeavors of each are inconsistent with the ingestion of any moderate amount of aged fluid. A solitary glass will regularly get the job done to offer some relief from both personality and body, and to decrease their ability to something underneath their flawlessness of work."

Dr. F.R. Remains, F.S.A., composing regarding the matter of liquor as a sustenance, makes the accompanying citation from an article on "Invigorating Beverages," distributed by Dr. H.R. Irritate, as quite a while in the past as 1847: "Liquor isn't the common boost to any of our organs, and consequently, capacities performed in outcome of its application, will in general incapacitate the organ followed up on.

Liquor is unequipped for being absorbed or changed over into any natural proximate principl
