Honey on toast sweet way to cure hangover
LONDON: The researchers have discovered a sweet way of getting rid of a hangover.

According to researchers, people who get hangover need just a slice of bread and a spoonful of honey to get out of a hangover the next day.

The researchers from the British Royal Society of Chemistry state that the natural sweetener can get you id hangovers.

Fructose that is present in honey works by breaking down alcohol into harmless by-products, they observed.

Lead-author of the present study, Dr John Emsley states, "The reason why hangovers are so painful is that alcohol is first broken down into acetaldehyde, a substance which is toxic to the body."

"The happiness comes from alcohol. The hangover comes from acetaldehyde. This is the toxic chemical into which alcohol is converted by the body and it causes a throbbing headache, nausea, and maybe even vomiting. The hangover disappears as the acetaldehyde is slowly converted to less toxic chemicals," he said.
