here is a fact, alcohol does not kill brain cells,
now, to qualify that title, pure alcohol will
absolutely kill brain cells and many other types of cells, which is why it is
used as a disinfectant, however, recent research has shown that the quantity of
alcohol you could possibly take in, without killing yourself, does
not introduce enough alcohol into your bloodstream to kill brain cells,
this was proven by a study by Grethe Jensen and co. (1993), who meticulously
counted neurons in matched samples of non-alcoholics and alcoholics, what they
found was that there was no real difference in the density or overall number of
neurons between the two groups,
so the
bottom line, alcohol consumed in moderation, such as a small glass of wine a
day, can be very good for you, on the other hand, drinking excessively won’t
kill you brain cells directly, but is still bad for your brain although your
body can compensate to a certain extent and repair the damage caused in most
cases, at least as far as your brain is concerned, so long as you don’t make a
regular habit of it,
well that's a relief, there was me thinking it
was alcohol making me forget things, now if only
I could remember what I keep forgetting all would be well!
