ALCOHOL HAS NO FOOD VALUE.
Alcohol has no food value and is exceedingly limited in its action as a remedial agent. Dr. Henry Monroe
says, "every kind of substance employed by man as food consists of sugar, starch, oil and glutinous matter mingled together in various proportions. These are designed for the support of the animal frame. The glutinous principles of food fibrine, albumen and casein are employed to build up the structure while the oil, starch and sugar are chiefly used to generate heat in the body".
Now it is clear that if alcohol is a food, it will be found to contain one or more of these substances. There must be in it either the nitrogenous elements found chiefly in meats, eggs, milk, vegetables and seeds, out of which animal tissue is built and waste repaired or the carbonaceous elements found in fat, starch and sugar, in the consumption of which heat and force are evolved.

"The Versatile Antioxidant Vitamin"
Slice an apple into half, and it turns brown. A copper penny
suddenly becomes green, or an iron nail
when left outside, will rust. What do
all these events have in common? These are examples of a process called
oxidation. If the sliced apple is dipped in a lemon juice, however, the rate at
which the apple turns brown is slowed. It is because the Vitamin C in the lemon
juice slows the rate of oxidative damage.
Since its discovery 65 years ago, vitamin C has come to be
known as a “wonder worker.” Because of its role in collagen formation and other
life-sustaining functions, Vitamin C serves as a key immune system nutrient and
a potent free-radical fighter. This double-duty nutrient has been shown to
prevent many illnesses, from everyday ailments such as the common cold to
devastating diseases such as cancer.
