Abstrakt		The Institute of Hygiene at the Faculty of Medicine in Ljubljana performed a research related to drinking of the Carst Teran and its influence upon the health of test animals (mice). During the research work performed on adult animals, which lasted more than one year, animals were fed with fat and normal food. Animals taking fat food were divided into 4 groups. They drank diluted wine (with 4 vol.% alcohol), pure alcohol (4 vol.%), wine without alcohol (diluted) and water. The researches showed that most health damages (diagnosed on heart, aorta and liver) were established with animals of group 1 and 2 which were drinking alcohol, and the least with those which obtained normal food and drank wine. More health damages were established also in the group of animals eating fat food, with no regard whether they drank water (group 4) or wine without alcohol (group 3), if compared with the group of animals which had normal food and drank water. The test showed that alcohol is detrimental to health and that protective substances in wine do not prevent the damaging influence of fat food upon the animal organism. Our studies show that the average quantity of consumed alcohol in the Carst region achieves 31 g/day with men and 8 g/day with women. In respect to these results we could maintain that our inhabitants of Carst are subject to risk to health, because they drink too much alcohol, even the Teran. Mortality of the whole population (35-37 years) in Slovenia and of Tomaj and Dutovlje inhabitants show lower mortality from cancer, cardio-vascular diseases and cirrhosis. This Carst paradox could be explained with higher consumption of protective substances in food. We presume that the main reason for the high general mortality and/or its being equal to the Slovenian average, is that daily meals of the Carst people contain too much alcohol.
