A food allergy and a food intolerance are identical responses. (True or false?)

Answer to #1

FALSE

Answer to #2

The amount and type of food in the stomach determines how long alcohol remains there before entering the small intestine. The presence of food in the stomach delays the passage of alcohol out of the stomach compared to the presence there of a beverage only. Foods high in fat also slow down the emptying of food from the stomach, and so fatty food in the stomach delays the arrival of the alcohol in the small intestine.

Answer to #3

FALSE

Answer to #4

Amylase digests carbohydrate; lipase digests fat; trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase digest protein. Note that the pancreas also produces two hormones that regulate blood glucoseinsulin and glucagonas well as bicarbonate, which neutralizes HCl in the stomach.

Answer to #5

TRUE

Answer to #6

Women have about 20 to 30 percent less alcohol dehydrogenase in their stomachs than men, so more alcohol enters the blood immediately through women's stomachs. Women have less muscle mass, and thus less body water, than men. Because alcohol is diluted in water, people with more muscle are able to distribute more of the alcohol throughout their body than people who have more fat.

Answer to #7

Fermentation is the process by which yeasts convert sugars in grains or fruits into ethanol and carbon dioxide, resulting in an alcoholic beverage. Wine and beer are made by fermentation. Distillation is the vaporization of ethanol in a liquid by heating, followed by the condensation of the vapor to produce a concentrated liquid called liquor.
