Ethanol both "GOOD" & "BAD"

Ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol, is present in varying amounts in beers and wines. It is also found in distilled liquors such as whisky, gin an rum. It is produced by the natural process of fermentation.

Alcohol mainly utilizes our body for heat production. It does not contain any amounts of vitamins and minerals and even acts to displace vitamins from our body causing the intestinal cells to stop absorbing thiamine and B12. Thus the balance of blood nutrients is disrupted.(ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE by Salvacion Dorado)

Artificial sweeteners = Diabetes . . .

Artificial sweeteners, like cyclamate and saccharin are used in softdrinks and ice cream because they cost much less than sugar. Cyclamate is thirty times sweeter than sugar, while saccharin is 550 times sweeter. However, studies have shown that cyclamate can cause liver damage, which we all know controls sugar level and producing of glucose which is essential in our body. Studies proved that irregularities of glucose in our body results to what we know as Diabetes.
