When one eats n real food7 II is as
simulated largely by muscle tissue, and

ing the life energy. When one ingests
alcohol. 1t is carried by the blood to
the tissues mostly to the liver, where
it Is oxidized as any toxin would be for
the purpose of making It harmless.
Its oxidation liberates heat energy.
but this energy cannot be utilized by
the body, even for the maintenance
of body temperature: If a food Is de-
fined as a substance which. taken into
the body. is assimilated and used
either to build up or repair body
structure, or TO be oxidized In the It's
sues to liberate the energies used by
the tissues In their normal activity.
then alcohol is not food.
The fact that alcohol is oxidized in
the body has been generally misunder-
stood. The first impression natural
ly was, foods are oxidized; alcohol Is
oxidized; therefore alcohol Is a food.
AS logically might one reason, man Is
an animal; the lobster Is an animal;
therefore man is lobster. The fall
lacy must be apparent. Not all things
that are oxidized are foods Many
poisons which from time to time get
access to the body are readily oxi-

tended that these poisons. because Of
their oxidation, should be looked upon
as foods, with the one exception of the

sufferer, but the dentist insisted, and

duly anaesthetized, and the deed was
done. When he was leaving he shook
the hand that had cured him and asked:

You were run down and nervous"
