0:00.0	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.
0:07.7	Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.
0:22.6	Did you realize that most of the damage from drinking alcohol doesn't actually come from
0:27.7	drinking alcohol? Let me explain. Now, when you drink alcohol, your liver has to break it down,
0:33.2	and it does it through an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase. So, the byproduct of what this
0:40.1	enzyme breaks alcohol into is called acetaldehyde. Here's the problem. This byproduct is highly toxic,
0:49.3	even in low concentrations. It has the ability to increase collagen growth in the liver that's
0:56.3	called fibrosis as in cirrhosis of the liver. So, this byproduct causes oxidation in free radicals.
1:04.5	It's the free radicals from the byproduct that cause destruction of the liver. So, then you have a
1:10.8	sequence of things that happen. You develop a fatty liver, then you get inflammation, and the
1:16.7	inflammation is there because the body is trying to heal something. What is it trying to heal?
1:21.0	The damage to the liver. Then scar tissue develops and you get cirrhosis.
1:26.3	Now, there are various studies done on rats. They fed rats alcohol with a high fat diet,
1:33.3	and they found that this process actually accelerates. So, just realize, and this is what they
1:38.5	don't tell you, that high fat diet was really a combination of high fats and high sugars. It
1:45.4	wasn't just a high fat diet. So, they omitted that one little point. And the problem is, when you
1:50.2	add sugar to high fats or sugar to protein, you really spike the insulin levels. So, you can pretty
1:58.1	much just omit and cross out this study because this does not relate to what we're talking about.
2:03.3	Now, here's the problem. The liver doesn't give symptoms until there's extensive damage. So,
2:08.7	you can go on for years and years and years without any symptoms, and notice your gut increasing,
2:14.0	but you might not make the connection, but that's what's happening. The liver is filling with that.
2:18.5	It's spilling off around the organs, and it's ending up as a visceral fat.
