To understand the purported science behind this claim, however, it is first necessary to review the basics of how alcohol breaks down in the human body once it has been imbibed.
Shortly after a person starts consuming an alcoholic drink, the liver gets to work. The enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase metabolizes the ethanol into toxic acetaldehyde. From there the liver enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase metabolizes acetaldehyde into acetate, a less toxic compound that breaks down into water and carbon dioxide.in high concentrations in the lining of the stomach wall and in the liver.
"Yeast can degrade ethanol," says [Tu]."But they love other sugars — glucose, maltose — more. When those sugars are around, the cells turn off the genes needed for alcohol degradation." Another issue raised by Tu was the amount of time the yeast would be in contact with the alcohol before being absorbed by the digestive tract -- not enough, in his view."I think the exposure time of the alcohol to the yeast is too low," he told NPR,"Any effect of the yeast [on BAC] will be marginal."and in articles: Whether or not the yeast able to remain active at all in the highly acidic environment that is the stomach.
