Venk Bellamkonda -

Thank you for such an entertaining and broad array of vitamin related knowledge. I have noticed that many people are commenting that oral absorption of thiamine is impaired in alcoholics just as this segment does; I cannot find where this comes from. Can you provide me the scientific foundation for this statement?

Paul J. -

Great question! Here is an article by Thomson AD (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11304071). Open access article can be found here: http://alcalc.oxfordjournals.org/content/alcalc/35/Supplement_1/2.full.pdf. Hope that helps!
