Monday, June 28, 2004The researchers tested 55 men and women aged 21 to 35 by simulating a night out under laboratory conditions. Five hours before the study participants started drinking, the researchers gave them two capsules of prickly pear fruit extract (1600 IU in total) or a placebo. The people in the study then ate a junk-food meal and were told to start drinking. They could choose from vodka, gin, rum, bourbon, scotch or tequila. But they couldn't mix their drinks. Over the next four hours they drank 1.75 grams of alcohol per kilogram of body weight, which earlier research had shown was enough to induce a hangover. Limousines took them home at the end of the night. Brought to you by Extracts Plus, the Californian supplier of the prickly pear extract capsules, which the study claims is a good preventive for hangovers. posted by Sydney on 6/28/2004 10:25:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
