Understanding the Chemistry of Alcohol
Alcohol is both water and fat soluble, allowing it to permeate cell tissues and organs. This unique chemical structure leads to various damaging effects on the body, emphasizing alcohol's classification as a toxin. When alcohol is metabolized in the liver, it converts ethanol into acetaldehyde, a toxic compound that contributes to negative health outcomes. This toxic process distracts the body’s detoxification resources away from essential physiological functions, resulting in disrupted metabolic processes and overall health decline.
