Alcohol, liver function, and cholesterol
I lost 25 lbs. at the beginning of 2005, and kept it off for almost
the entire year, then through 2006 I've become used to a lot of drinks
while I study or socialize in business. In the last year I've become
a huge consumer of alcohol. A LOT. Although I don't eat red meat
(maybe once a month in a hamburger), I find I've gained 35 pounds.
Can anyone provide some links, data, or advice, about alcohol, the
liver, fat and high cholesterol? even though I don't EAT a lot of
saturated fat, could the introduction of something that chemically
makes the liver work harder make the fat in the blood higher? I've
been told "no"? only a blood test would tell? but, I cannot believe
that just a simple carbohydrate like sugar from alcohol would cause
this "huge fluff'? I don't "feel" sick?
???? any response if appreciated
Alcohol contains calories. You tend to drink in addition to the meals you
ate that day, and not out of hunger, so the alcohol calories tend to be
extra. Being extra, they pile on fat.
When your body fat rises, your blood lipids get worse as well.
(Alcohol isn't a sugar. It's not even a carb.)
