Description
Summary:Abstract: A comprehensive examination of the role of alcoholic food beverages in nutrition is presented. Current scientific knowledge concerning the metabolism of ethanol and the nutrient contributions of fermented beverages is discussed within the perspective of their long religious andcultural tradition in human society. Beers and wines have been enjoyed for their gustatory as well as pharmacologic value since antiquity. The processing and consumption of indigenous foods containing fermentable sugars is reviewed historically, along with the fermentation of wine and the brewing of beer. A survey of the therapeutic uses of alcoholic beverages and the effects of alcoholic abuse on body systems are described. Alcoholism has profound medical,nutritional and socioeconomic implications on an individual and on society. An appendix identifies the compounds contained in whiskey, wine and beer.
Item Description:Based in part on edited and revised papers prepared for the International Symposium on Fermented Food Beverages in Nutrition held in Rochester, Minn. at the Mayo Clinic, June 15-17, 1977.
