Quebec Beer Drinkers'
Heart Disease Epidemic
Cobalt sulphate, a chemical
added to beer to maintain the
picturesque foam on top, has
been blamed for the death of
20 Quebec City beer drinkers.
A report in the October 7
• issue of the Canadian Medical
Association Journal, outlines in
detail the epidemic• invest'.
• gation carried out by 21 med.
'cal investigators led by Dr.
Y. L. Morin, Director of the
Institute of Cardiology at Laval
University.
The report which is con.
sidered an excellent example
of medical investigation,, proves
that cobalt sulphate played a
significant' role in the suddenn'
appearance of 48 cases of acute
heart failure- due to alcholic
cardiomyopathy and the 20 deaths
that occurred in Quebec City
between August 1965 and March
"1966. Cardiomyopathy is a type
of heart disease affecting the
heart muscle itself. •
The 48 people, two of 'whom
were women, were all heavy
beer drinkers and had been for

a long -time. 'The majority of
them drink ..over 200 'ounces
of beer per. day - a few had
consumed as much as 500
ounces per day. Thirty-three of
the "victims had been "heavy
drinkers" for over 20 years.
Practi&ally all had been "heavy
drinkers" for at least ten years.
They ranged in age from 25
to 66 The report states "it
is apparent that the length of
time the person had been a
heavy drinker was more import.
ant than the amount he drank
per day." It would appear that
in some people long term beer
drinking produces changes in
the heart muscle which make
it susceptible ' to severe and
acute damage from small
amounts of cobalt.
One brand of beer, referred
to as brand XXX, and credi.
ted with . having 80 percent of
the Quebec City beer market,
is blamed for the epidemic.
"The disease appeared' one
month after brand XXX was
made with the additive and no
further cases were seen a month
after the chemical had been re-

e.moved.".
There were no other cases
seen in Canada in spite of a
thorough search' -by medical
authorities. The company,.
which manufactures brand XXX
produces the same brand of beer
in Montreal, yet no cases were
discovered in that area. The
report explains that the concen.
tration of cobalt in the Quebec
City produced beer (1.2 parts
per million) was much higher
than in the Montreal product
(0.075 p.p.m.). The report also
points out that in Montreal only
draft beer contained cobalt
while in Quebec City both draft
and bottle beer contained the
higher concentration of cobalt.
This combination produced a
numbering from 12 to. 15 in each, for•'travelling to and from
the Expo . 167 site. In charge 'of each of the sixteen groups
was a student leader and a GDCI teacher. This organization
must have worked as there were no reports of any member of
the GP.CI contingent having been .left in Montreal.
much higher intake of cobalt
in the Quebec City beer
drinkers.
In an editorial, the C.M.A.
Journal pays credit to the Que.
bec doctors for recognizing the
epidemic, finding outwhat cans.
ed it and bringing it to a stop..
The editorial points out that
the 48 cases were spread out
• over a nine month period and
admitted to eight different hos.
pitals. Cardiomyopathy is, not
uncommon-, among alcoholics,
but it comes on slowly and
has never appeared in epidemic
proportions. Other beer drin.
kers drank the same beer, drank
just as much.nd had been drink.
Ing for just as -many years;
and. yet. were not affected. The
epidemic and its cause could
easily have been overlooked.
A similar epidemic involving
64 cases had been underway in
Omaha, Nebraska, for a full
year prior to • the Quebec ex.
perienee. When cobalt was dis.
covered to be the cause -in
Quebec, Omaha authorities
were, notified. The cobalt was
removed from the Omaha beer •
arid after One ' month no adds.
tional cases were discovered.
This provided additional proof
that cobalt sulpahte was the pre.
cipitating cause of the disease.
Dr. Morin states that ethyle.
nediaminetetraacetic acid,
which has been shown topre-
vent cobalt •-. poisoning in -
animals, "might have saved
some of our patients had we
known the • metal to be pre.
sent in beer at the time."
The report suggests that this
possibility, ;and the fact that
doctors are accustomed to
knowing the exact composition
of drugs they use, may lead
'them to question the need
for the secrecy' that surrounds
the use of ,such food or ,drink
additives.
