Dear Michael and List,

I think alcoholism is not genetic, it is genetic only in that the mom feeds
the child the same foods she is eating. A high carb mom is going to give her
family high carb foods in most cases leading to carb/sugar addiction and
then alcohol addiction. Note in the book SUGAR BLUES the author states that
alcoholism is sugar craving.

The  implication is that   alcoholism could be ameliorated with a high fat
low carb diet. Instead people are told they are sick and need AA.  Go to an
AA meeting and what do they serve: coffee and sugar cookies. No wonder
people do not seem to "recover" from alcoholism.

Could this also be true of drug addicts? I would like to see the diet of a
drug addict and am willing to bet it's very high carb high sugar.
