SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHalcohol and body 05/12/2001 Drink vitamins Henk Hendriks and colleagues of the TNO Nutrition and Food Research Institute in Zeist, the Netherlands, measured the vitamin B6 content in the blood of eleven men that had been drinking for three weeks in a row successively water, red wine, gin or lager with their meals. Beer contains B6 and during the ‘beer period’ the concentration of vitamin B6 in the blood of those persons rose by 30%. Curiously enough the concentration of the B6 vitamin also rose by 15 % in the ‘gin period’ and in the ‘wine period’ although gin nor wine contain this vitamin. According to Hendriks the vitamin B6 plays a role in the favourable effect of a moderate alcohol consumption in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Source: The Lancet 2001;355:9214 | |
