Not drinking alcohol for a month, what does that do to your health? A group of social drinkers voluntarily participated in our experiment and did not drink a drop for a month! Scientists investigated the effect that had on their psyche, body and liver. You can see the results in this episode of De Kennis van Nu. Liver specialists Isabelle Munsterman and Eric Tjwa investigate whether the livers of test subjects are less fatty and stiff after a month without alcohol. Psychiatrist Arnt Schellekens looks at changes in drinking, mood and cognition. This broadcast was made possible with thanks to the Radboud UMC, Isabelle Munsterman, Eric Tjwa, Arnt Schellekens and their colleagues from the departments of gastroenterology, radiology, psychiatry and social sciences. --- More science?
