Title: Getting "high" on high meats/fats
Post by: PaleoPhil on September 26, 2009, 10:32:34 pm
I mentioned to someone about Eskimos getting "high"/euphoric on high meats/fats. He suggested that maybe it's because alcohol is produced by the fermentation. I thought it was the bacteria that produced the effect. Does fermenting meats/fats produce any alcohol?

I once had some liver blood that fermented into alcohol.  That's the only time I've seen that happen.

I can't see how fermented meat could turn into alcohol,it's only fruit that turns into alcohol.But the main point is that it's been proven that bacteria are linked to a rise in mood:-

plus, after getting the euphoric benefits of "high-meat" there are no aftereffects of any kind, whereas alcohol consumption is followed by hangover effects.

    That may be possible.  The glycogen in it may turn into alcohol, acids, even vinegar.  That's one reason I try to avoid liver.  Fruit vinegars are more pleasant tasting.
