**4. Alcoholic Beverages** **Classification---Typical: Baijiu (Chinese liquor), beer, fruit wine**

Alcohol can activate lipases in adipose tissue, prompting the release of fatty acids into the bloodstream.

Oxidation in the liver depletes coenzymes, leading to insufficient fatty acid oxidation and the synthesis of triglycerides. Alcohol can also inhibit...

It inhibits the clearance of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in the blood, inducing hyperlipidemia. Moderate alcohol consumption can promote the clearance of high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

Lipoprotein synthesis is involved, but excessive alcohol consumption, especially drunkenness, causes the liver to synthesize large amounts of low-density lipoproteins.

Lipoproteins can damage the body. Therefore, alcohol consumption should never be excessive.
