Talk:Acetaldehyde

I removed the claim that the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase mutation leads to higher alcoholism rates in native americans. It is directly contradicted by the reference given (which states that native americans don't have this mutation) and it also doesn't make sense: if you immediately puke everytime you drink, obviously you won't become an alcoholic.

The higher alcohlism rates in native americans probably has something to do with alcohol dehydrogenae mutations. AxelBoldt 20:12 Mar 16, 2003 (UTC)
