Summary
Abstract: Summarizes the latest research data on the multiple effects of alcohol on the nutritional status of alcohol abusers. Discusses the fact that alcoholism is the most common single cause of malnutrition in developed countires and discusses the ways in which alcohol abuse induces malnutrition, e.g., it displaces other more nutritious foods in the diet; affects the bioavailability of many nutrients; and is toxic to almost all body tissues, especially to the brain and liver.
