The story of a British woman who ate'this' on an empty stomach and suddenly lost her life is awakening.

Foreign media, including the British Metro on the 20th, report on 27-year-old Alice Burton Bradford, who died in Cornwall's home garden.

Alice was a'exercise lover' who is usually interested in health. I enjoyed running or biking every day, and I didn't neglect my dogs and beach walks during the shutdown.

But Alice, who was so healthy, died a month ago in an unexpected accident. After drinking on an empty stomach, he collapsed with an alcoholic ketoacidosis, a metabolic complication.

If you drink too much and don't get enough food when you drink, you're malnourished. Then, as energy intake decreases, glucose intake is depleted, and fat accumulated in the body is converted into energy to supplement it. At this time,'ketone', a by-product of lipolysis, increases rapidly, making the blood acidic, which is called alcoholic ketoacidosis.

After Alice's death, acquaintances were in shock. "I don't know how much you drank in the week of the accident, but Alice didn't drink often and was really healthy," said Aaron, acquainted with him for eight years. It’s tragic.”

"I have never heard of'alcoholic ketoacidosis' before Alice's death," he said. "More people need to know how dangerous it is to drink alcohol without eating enough."
