Alcoholic beverages have been a part of every culture for thousands of years. Even before we started drinking them from straw and calling them drinks, fermented alcoholic drinks were known in many tribal communities around the world. The earliest references to drinking alcohol date back to ancient Egypt and China. It was produced as early as 7,000 years before our time. Today, it is often an integral part of any big celebration, but it has its own relaxing properties. However, many sources suggest that it can also have a positive effect on our health - or at least, that's what we've been told. The latest scientific research has challenged that notion, making us question whether moderate drinking is really good for us. It's time to reconsider the effects of alcohol on our health.

Der Prozess der Alkoholverarbeitung im Körper

Ethylalkohol wird im Verdauungstrakt aufgenommen und dann in der Leber metabolisiert. Durch das Wirken spezifischer Enzyme, werden Alkohol in Essigsäurealdhyde und dann in sichere Essigsäure umgewandelt. Allerdings werden Ethylalkohol und Methylalkohol allgemein als giftige Substanzen für unseren Körper angesehen. Im Gegensatz zu Kohlenhydraten, Fettsäuren und Proteinen gibt es keinen Ort, an dem überschüssiger Alkohol gelagert werden kann. Die Leber muss hart arbeiten, um den Alkohol schnell abzubauen. Daher ist es nicht ungewöhnlich, dass große Mengen an Alkohol zu einer Verschlechterung der Gesundheit führen.

Kritik früherer wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen

Seit mehreren Jahrzehnten stimmen die meisten Epidemiologen darin überein, dass moderater Alkoholkonsum einen positiven Einfluss auf verschiedene Krankheiten hat, einschließlich Herzkrankheiten, Osteoporose und rheumatoider Arthritis. Es gibt viele Studien, die diese Korrelation bestätigen, und unter dem Einfluss der Beweise haben sogar Ärzte und einige Gesundheitsorganisationen begonnen, Menschen zu empfehlen, kleine Mengen Alkohol zu trinken. In den letzten Jahren haben jedoch einige Wissenschaftler ein großes Problem bemerkt - in vielen dieser Studien waren die Kontrollgruppen Abstinente, was bedeutet, dass die Gesundheit der Menschen, die Alkohol in moderaten Mengen konsumierten, mit denjenigen verglichen wurde, die früher Alkohol getrunken hatten, aber damit aufgehört hatten. Dies ist kein fairer Vergleich, da Abstinente oft einen Körper haben, der durch Jahre des Alkoholkonsums beschädigt wurde, oder den Gewohnheitswechsel im höheren Alter wegen einer Verschlechterung des Gesundheitszustands vornehmen. Wenn wir Menschen, die mit Maßen trinken, mit Abstinenten vergleichen, können wir bessere Ergebnisse bei den erstgenannten beobachten, aber das ist nur aufgrund der Tatsache, dass die zweite Gruppe keine gute Kontrollgruppe darstellt. Was ist, wenn wir Menschen, die gelegentlich trinken, mit Menschen vergleichen, die nie Alkohol trinken? Dr. Tim Stockwell und sein Team haben versucht, eine Antwort auf diese Frage zu finden und 87 Studien in einer Metaanalyse im Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs im Jahr 2016 analysiert. Nur 13 dieser Studien wurden als zuverlässig eingestuft, da sie Menschen, die Alkohol in moderaten Mengen konsumierten, mit Menschen verglichen, die noch nie Alkohol konsumiert hatten. Nach einer Analyse aller in der Analyse berücksichtigten Studien lässt sich der Schluss ziehen, dass kleine Mengen Alkohol einen gesundheitlichen Nutzen haben, aber wenn wir nur die 13 Studien berücksichtigen (in denen Abstinente nicht als Kontrollgruppe dienten), stellen wir fest, dass Maßhalten keine positiven Auswirkungen mehr hat.

Praktische Konzepte

Es sollte nicht zugelassen werden, dass die oben genannten Beobachtungen eine sofortige Veränderung unserer Weltanschauung und unserer Ernährungsgewohnheiten verursachen. Wir sollten offen für neue Konzepte sein und eine kritische Haltung gegenüber den präsentierten Informationen einnehmen. Bislang haben wir zu viele Daten, die die gesundheitlichen Vorteile von geringen Alkoholmengen belegen, jedoch könnte die zuvor erwähnte, kürzlich veröffentlichte Metaanalyse den Beginn einer Veränderung der gesellschaftlichen Einstellungen darstellen.
