Could eating pears cure a hangover?
Some foods activate the enzymes that break down alcohol - at least in the lab, say researchers
Researchers hope that curing a hangover may be as simple as eating cheese and tomato, washed down with a glass of pear juice, sweet lime and coconut water.
The Indian food scientists have screened a range of foods and spices to see whether they increase the activity in the lab of two key enzymes: alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH).
