Maotai can fight cancer, and red wine can preserve health. Why does the myth of alcohol health and liver disease appear at the same time?
The debate about alcohol has never stopped. Smoking and drinking are often compared together. People can see the harm of tobacco more clearly, and basically everyone has no objection. But for wine, everyone's attitude is more ambiguous. Some people say that excessive drinking is harmful, but moderate drinking is good for health.

The rumor about wine health has never been broken, and there are all kinds of Chinese medicinal liquor to dispel wind and relieve pain; Beauty with red wine; There are even white spirits that nourish the liver and fight cancer, and various health articles are flying all over the sky.

Recently, a research paper circulating on the Internet that Maotai can fight cancer has been widely circulated. The article claims that Maotai can improve the production of liver cancer cells in mice, which is directly contrary to the carcinogenic factors announced by WHO. But a closer look at this paper will reveal some mistakes. In this paper, mice were fed with the same amount of Moutai and anhydrous ethanol respectively. After feeding for 36 weeks, the author found that the liver fibrosis in Maotai group was moderate, but it was more obvious in F ethanol group, that is, the degree of liver fibrosis in Maotai group was lighter and the function decreased more slowly. Therefore, it is concluded that Maotai can fight cancer. Ah, this is nothing more than drinking chemical reagents or drinks, which is more harmful to the body. The results show that chemical reagents are more harmful to the body, and then the conclusion that Maotai is anti-cancer is drawn.

The theory of keeping healthy with red wine originated in France. A French scholar named Serge Renault believes that the fundamental reason for the lack of patients with coronary heart disease in France is that the French drink 20-30 grams of red wine every day. This statement spread without rigorous argumentation and became the source of this statement.

By analyzing the composition of red wine, many people think that the health of red wine comes from one of the substances: resveratrol (which some health care products manufacturers call grape seed extract). However, the embarrassment of resveratrol lies in that it has not shown any benefits to heart disease, metabolic diseases, cancer, longevity, skin and other problems in human clinical trials. And some side effects of nausea and vomiting.

Although drinks are handled by various businessmen, the publicity is flashy. However, in sharp contrast to the propaganda of protecting the liver, alcoholic liver disease has become the second largest cause of liver disease after viral liver disease.
