Quote:Previous studies have shown that alcohol changes the structure of white matter for the worse, even if a person is only drinking moderate amounts, which can lead to accelerated cognitive decline as a person gets older. This new study is unique in that it is one of the first to examine the state of white matter after a person becomes sober. And the outlook is not great.
Lead author Santiago Canals, Ph.D., a principal investigator at the Institute of Neurosciences in Spain, announced Tuesday that until now, “nobody could believe that in the absence of alcohol the damage in the brain would progress.”
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
