Brandy for digestion? french study tests holiday tradition

NCT ID NCT06728761

Summary

This study tested a common French belief that drinking a shot of Calvados brandy during a big meal helps with digestion. Eight healthy volunteers ate a large, high-calorie meal and had their stomach emptying measured with ultrasound. Researchers compared what happened when volunteers drank Calvados versus water to see if the alcohol actually sped up digestion or not.
