Low Zinc Diet May Cost You a DUI Charge
|
Scientific research shows that a high blood-alcohol level may not be a result of high alcohol consumption. According to a study performed at the University of North Dakota, researchers discovered that the metabolism of alcohol is dramatically affected by zinc intake. In the subjects on a low zinc diet, blood-alcohol levels increased rapidly within 15 minutes of consumption of measured amounts of alcohol. About twice as much alcohol was present in their blood as was present in the subjects with normal zinc diets. In addition, greater amounts of alcohol remained in the blood for longer periods of time for those with a zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiencies tend to develop in individuals who regularly consume large amounts of alcohol. This deficiency will cause a higher alcohol concentration and slower elimination, resulting in abnormally high blood-alcohol tests.
