Many people drink 'on the face', relatives and friends will say 'blush is better to drink, drink to practice just fine.' In fact, a drink on the blushing phenomenon called 'Asian red face disease' about 1/3 yellow people exist Phenomenon, white, black few.
Alcohol into the liver after two metabolic: ethanol by alcohol dehydrogenase catalysis, into acetaldehyde; acetaldehyde in the role of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase into acetic acid, eventually converted to carbon dioxide and water excreted. People, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity worse than normal, resulting in acetaldehyde can not be further metabolized into other products and accumulation in the body, there vasodilation, blushing, rapid heartbeat and other phenomena.A acetaldehyde is a carcinogen, can be attached to the deoxygenation Ribonucleic acid molecules, leading to genetic mutations, and even cancer.Many studies have reported that people with alcohol-related deficiencies in alcohol consumption will increase the risk of cancer in the entire digestive tract, esophageal cancer, especially gastric cancer, liver cancer.
South Korean studies confirm that such people are also at higher risk of developing hypertension than those who drink less blushed, and those who are already overburdened exercise alcohol, tolerate alcohol, and drink more alcohol, resulting in more accumulation in the body Acetaldehyde, will cause even greater harm.According to geneticists analysis, Asian red face may be evolved protective degenerative genes, so that this group will not drink, better life and work.
