Top 10 Reasons Why Drinking Beer is Good for your Health!
THE FOUNDERS WERE RIGHT! (They were all avid beer drinkers).
Everyone is looking for a reason to drink beer. Right? It turns out that a lot of people are. So here are 10 great reasons to drink more beer. Not only that, but they're all true. Beer really is good for your health, so drink up!
1. Beer Reduces Stress
Alcohol in general has been shown to reduce stress. This one is obvious, and may be the best reason beer is good for your health.
2. Beer is Good for the Heart
A study was conducted from 1982 - 1996 on the elderly. It was found that those who drank at least 1.5 per day had a 20-50 percent less chance of having heart failure.
3. Beer Improves Blood Circulation
Beer increases your "good" cholesterol, or HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. Its basically a kind of blood fat, so it reduces blood's tendency to clot.
4. Beer is Chock Full o' Fiber
The fiber comes from the cell walls of the malted barley. A liter of beer can have as much as 60% of your daily recommended fiber. The extra fiber will keep you regular and can also lower the risk of heart disease.
5. Beer as a Multi-vitamin
Beer is a significant source of magnesium, selenium, potassium, phosphorus, biotin, folate, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12
6. Beer may Prevent Strokes
A study published in Stroke magazine in 2001 showed that alcohol drinkers have fewer strokes. Because it thins the blood, it increases the circulation in the brain, thereby protecting from silent strokes which are cause by tiny blood clots.
7. Beer keeps your Brain Young
A large study, published in the December 2001 issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, was conducted on elderly Italian men and women. It showed that moderate drinkers had a 40% lower risk of mental impairment.
8. Beer is Good for your Liver
Alcohol expands the small blood vessels in the liver. This speeds up metabolism so it can help clean all the toxins out of the liver. This is from Beer Net Publication, April 2001 Biological Institute.
9. Beer Cures Insomnia
Lactoflavin and nicotinic acid, both present in beer, can promote sleep. Also hops are a natural sedative.
10. Beer Fends off Gallstones
According to Professor Oliver James at the University of Newcastle, beer protects against gallstones and kidney stones.

Wow -- Welcome to the Anti-Alcoholics-Annonymous Page
Hahahahahaha
Beer is a fermentive product -- The beer itself might not cause cancer but the un-natural (overtly fermentive-able enviroment -- processed foods) can.
Anything that further promotes fermentation promotes cancer.
All Viruses - Bacteria, including cancer, that are harmful to the body have "fermentive" or anerobic cell respiration (from a lack of oxygen)
Whereas all Healthy Bacterium are aerobic cell respiration (from oxygen)
Beer does not increase "oxygen" it increases fermentation in our system.
It is also wholly un-natural and in nature when we come accross small pools of fermentive substances we avoid it as "rotten"
Beer must go through a special process to hide the "rotten" taste and this makes it "healthier" but the by-product is an increase in anerobic life, an increase in "yeast" which when combined with a processed food diet creates homes for mold - bad bacterium - viruses - and cancer.
The "Beer" itself would not cause this in a 100% raw food enviroment (assuming it's raw food healthy).
When I was a rawfoodist / fruitarian (to heal internal disease) alcohol nor marijuana had any affect on me -- one does not feel "drunk" when they are healthy you feel "sick" after consuming alcohol.
The body produces a "mild" fermentation when the digestive system is 100% raw food; however, it passes through quickly.
There is a light buzz felt by all raw foodist, however it is a healthy buzz and produces intense clarity.
It takes 10 years to get fully "clean"
I don't recommend Beer or a 100% raw food diet
85% Raw Food and 15% to imagination -- 15% for socialization reasons.
That being said I would never vote or lobby against drug use of any kind, nor would I try to stop you from enjoying your life.
However, I would stop you from driving -- there should never be a condition of mind that impares ones ability to function, but that is my personal view.

Assert Your Authority
If I let my kids read "B is for Beer"
they'd take away my parenting license. The subtitle of the book: "A Children's Book for Grown-ups, A Grown-Up Book for Children." In this book a five year old girl gets beer from her Uncle Moe (an old hippy and philosopher), gets drunk, pukes on the rug in her bedroom, and goes on a magical journey with the Beer Fairy. Good writing...wonderfully politically incorrect.

From Tom Robbins: "B is for Beer":
"Let me be clear...beer is not a part of the actual Mystery or even connected to it in any direct way. No, no, Beer is merely a vehicle.
"On rare occasions, and for very brief moments, that vehicle may carry a person far beyond the state of being glad and dizzy (and I'm all for glad and dizzy, you know, glad and dizzy is in my neighborhood); may shoot them through an opening *between* the glad and the dizzy..."
"Is that like Alice's rabbit hole in Wonderland?"
"It's much smaller than that."
"Like a mouse hole?"
"Smaller. More like a crack in the egg of a barley beetle."
"Oh."
"Beer, if it's just the right amount--not too little and definitely not too much--may on occasion transport one through the crack and carry one close enough to the gates of the Mystery so that one's granted a quick but entirely rapturous peek inside."
"What's it look like?"
The fairy smiled and rotated her wings. "Everything. And nothing. Both at the same time. What does the electricity inside your atoms look like? What do forever and laughter and liberty look like? It's the face everybody shared before they were born and the joke they'll finally get after they're dead. It's the meaning of meaning, the other that has not further, and the which of which there is not whicher." (pp. 96-97).
Ahh. Mystery, rabbit holes, rapture, liberty...and beer. Happy Friday night, everyone.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE ANTI-ALCOHOL....
be it for health reasons or whatever...try this...and see if beer does not become one of your favorite beverages of choice...
...if the alcohol content bothers you..or others.. drink non-alcoholic beer.. less than .5% ....and still has all the benefits..minus the alcohol (see benefits above..as well as more posted below.)
Blasphemy!!!!
You should never, ever, drink non-alcoholic beer, (or Bud Light and Coor's Light, for that matter, since they are basically non-alcoholic).
They are swill.
If offered a :
a)Coor's Light
b) O'Doul's
c) Bud Light
or

no bud OR lite
Generally speaking, any commercial beer with either of the words "bud" or "lite" on the label are rather less than satisfactory brews, unless of course, someone else is paying for it.
acccording to this thread....
http://www.dailypaul.com/...
even non-alcoholic beer is better than water...
besides you need to expand your horizons.. beyond those 3 choices..
there are some good imports for the non- alcohol people(if there are any on DP that is..)
Beer is bad for your health and it's easy to prove (smile)
It is a heavily subsidized product -- from the cans to the bottles, to the oil or coal driven machinery, to the farmer, to the distribution (on and on and on).
Nothing subsidized can be good for your health if it is destroying the value of the dollar that bought it.
Now as for beer in the free-market we'd all be to busy with entrepreneurialism and staying competitive to drink away our brain cells; but a little bit of a beer in a free-society (used responsibly) is fine with me -- they will be just a bit slower and give me a comparative advantage, hahahaha.
Try meditation, energization, and conscious-sleep.
Learn to create the beer or pot high by relaxation and intense concentration on the drug-centers within the brain -- Develop "bliss on tap"
It's free and the high is based in sobriety and strengthens brain connectivity rather than destroy it.
But I would never lobby against beer or pot users or any type of drug user -- I would never lobby against anyone actually.
Octobox
well the subsidize issue aside..(as many foods/products are
subsidized)
Beer could really be good for you in many instances. You seem to be an in shape kinda guy...try the following and see what feels better...
go do an intense workout..or a nice long run/hike each day, (but change only one thing--the recovery fluids) ...then do one of the following each time and make notes on how you feel after....
-- drink as much water as you feel you need when done.
-- drink as much of you favorite electrolyte replacement drink--ie sport drink
-- drink as much non-alcoholic beer as you feel you need when done
-- do a meditation/mental exercise/deep breathing/tai-chi/ or some other type of mental relaxation technique.
by the 4th day compare notes on how you felt after each workout..and see what technique worked best for you in your recovery... you may be surprised

There are no vitamins in beer! They remove them or it would be
under the FDA but as you know it is under ATF.
Each Beer or shot kills one million Brain Cells, one million liver cells and one million kidney cells. By the time a two a day martini guy reaches his or her mid fifties they have 50% of their brain gone.
I think most making comments here have lost a bunch of brain cells from the stupid comments.
If you are going to make claims about the health benefit of beer then let us see your references and or your sources in a way that we can research yours.
Not to mention the liver diseases,yellow jaundice or cirrhosis of the liver.
If beer had vitamins who cares. Alcohol destroys the B vitamins, leaches out calcium, potassium and magnesium.
alcohol raises triglyceride levels.
Besides anyone with a little gray matter left knows that alcohol is a depressant.
You don't think that Beer Net Publication, April 2001 Biological Institute. have a vested interest.
I'll drink to that...

umm.... your wrong about the vitamins... read below to find out.
http://www.aim-digest.com...
Vitamins in Beer
by Dr Caroline Walker of Brewing Research International
So where do the vitamins in beer come from?
The key is that beer isn't just made from cereal, its made from malted cereal.
Malting is a very simple process; seeds are soaked in water and allowed to sprout. This is an ancient method for increasing the nutritional content of seeds and quite likely originates in prehistoric times. Sprouting may have happened initially by accident, but our canny ancestors knew a good thing when they came across it!
As the seedling begins to germinate it actually makes vitamins. Figure 1 gives a few examples of the types of increases in vitamins seen after a few days of germination. For brewing, the major ingredient is barley malt. A premium grade of barley will typically be germinated for 4-5 days after first soaking in water. The maltster then stops the germination process by drying in a kiln. The drying process is gentle and thus preserves many of the vitamins, although some less stable ones such as vitamin C are destroyed .The overall result is a dried grain with a high vitamin content the barley malt.
In the first stages of making beer, the malt is milled into a flour, and then mixed with hot water. For beer making both the bran and the flour are used, and so beer is a whole grain product. Considering the vitamins only, at this point all of the vitamins that can dissolve in water are released into the liquid. The result is a vitamin enriched broth a liquid bread. Inevitably, some vitamins will be lost during brewing and will not make it to the finished product, as during fermentation, some vitamins will be used by the yeast for growth. Despite this, several vitamins remain in the beer by the time it gets to the bottle, and table 1 gives some typical values which may be found in beer.
Folate in beer a BRI/EU project
In typical Western diets, vitamin deficiency is not generally a problem. However, there's still room for improvement! For example, the typical intake of folate is about 200 micrograms/day, but nutritionists believe that our health would be improved by increasing this figure to 300 microg./day. This is because over the last ten years medical researchers have found that folates may help protect against chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer and Alzheimers.
Folates are found in fruit and vegetables, with the highest levels being found in dark green leafy vegetables. Unfortunately, we do not generally eat enough fruit and vegetables. Therefore, nutritionists are focusing their attention on the nutritional value of some commonly consumed folate-containing foods. This forms the basis of a new EU project Folates, from food to functionality which is being led by the Institute of Food Research at Norwich. Among the foods being looked at are rye breads, orange juice, fermented milk products, gazpacho and beer.
The BRI are participating in this project by measuring the levels of folates in beer. Our initial results on the folate content of beer are incorporated in Table 1; a litre of beer contains between 10 to 45 % of the recommended daily intake (i.e. 20 to 90 microgr. of folate). To put this into context, one litre of the highest folate beer contains approximately the same amount of folate as 100g broccoli, 0.5 kg tomatoes, 0.25 kg potatoes or 1.5 litres of 2% milk.
However, there is quite a variation in the levels of folate in beer, due to differences in how these beers are made. The BRIs part of the project will involve working out why there is such variation, and to offer brewers guidelines on the best way to preserve the folate in beer. For further details on the EU folate project, please visit the website at www.ifr.bbsrc.ac.uk/folat....
Folates are also known to help in the prevention of neural tube defects, and pregnant women are consequently advised to increase their intake of folates. It should be emphasised that since beer contains alcohol, it is not a suitable dietary folate source for pregnant women.
Absorption of vitamins from beer
Nutritionists must always consider bioavailability that is our ability to absorb nutrients from food. Even although a food may contain quantities of a vitamin, it doesn't mean we can absorb it. For example, researchers have shown vitamin A is more readily absorbed from cooked carrots than raw ones i.e. boiled vegetables may in some cases be more nutritious than their raw counterparts. While this is a big hurrah for traditional British cooking techniques, it still leaves the question of whether vitamins in other foods can be absorbed.
In beer, the question of bioavailability has already been answered in part. In a study at the TNO Nutrition and Food Research Institute, in the Netherlands, a small group of volunteers were asked to drink wine, beer, spirits or water with their evening meal for three weeks (Van der Gaag et al 2000). The researchers checked the volunteers blood at the end of this time and found that the beer drinkers had bigger increases in the amount of vit.B6 in their blood compared to those drinking the other beverages. This result may have been expected, in that beer was the only one of the beverages given to the volunteers which contained vitamin B6! However, it does help to answer the question of whether we can absorb this vitamin from beer.
In conclusion, culturally the knowledge that beer is made from highly nutritious malt has been lost to the general public. Hopefully new research will restore the image of beer to one that earlier generations would recognise, and the message that moderate beer consumption can make some positive contribution to a balanced diet will be delivered.
NOW -- if the alcohol content bothers you..or others.. drink non-alcoholic beer.. less than .5% ....
here are a few other documents that prove vitamins are indeed in beer...
http://www.aim-digest.com...
Vitamins in beer
Beer, primarily an enjoyable drink, also contains important vitamins. The main ingredient of beer is malt - sprouting barley and during malting the vitamin content increases. One litre of beer supplies the body with the following percentage of its daily requirement:
B6 17% Niacin 13%
B2 (riboflavin) 17% Biotin 17%
Panthothenic acid 8% Folate 10-45%

Hops does this more than the alcohol
The alcohol is just a carrier for the hops. Use a wildcrafted tincture of hops with profuse water and see more health effects.
Read Dr. Christopher's School of Natural Healing book.
Alcohol is a poisonous substance with pharmacopic effects, especially needed by heavy meat eaters to clear cholesterol from the blood and kill all their parasites.
sam adams octoberfest indeed!
i love it. but i live near asheville, nc now. we have the best microbreweries in the world. pisgah porter for me all the way. drinking beer also reduces your chances of getting prostate cancer. but don't drink too much. it'll kill your immune system, and all the bad stuff will outweigh the good.
my other favorite is samuel smith's oatmeal stout.

Brew yer own
I brew my own. It is not hard to brew really good beer. Save money, make sure only wholesome ingredients go into it. Have it on tap! Have fun naming it!
I should start stockpiling malt extract. Or learn to grow and malt barley. Need substantial acreage for that.

Sam Adams Octoberfest...and it's almost October!
The tune of "The Star Spangled Banner" was originally a drinking song popular in Baltimore, called "To Anacreon in Heaven." Here are the lyrics...boy, are they something else:
To Anacreon in Heav'n, where he sat in full glee,
A few Sons of Harmony sent a petition;
That he their Inspirer and Patron wou'd be;
When this answer arrived from the Jolly Old Grecian;
"Voice, Fiddle, and Flute,
No longer be mute,
I'll lend you my name and inspire you to boot,
And besides I'll instruct you like me, to intwine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine."
The news through Olympus immediately flew;
When Old Thunder pretended to give himself airs.
If these Mortals are suffered their scheme to pursue,
The Devil, a Goddess, will stay above stairs.
"Hark," already they cry,
"In transports of joy,
Away to the Sons of Anacreon we'll fly.
And besides I'll instruct you like me, to intwine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine.
The Yellow-Haired God and his nine lusty Maids,
From Helion's banks will incontinent flee,
Idalia will boast but of tenantless Shades,
And the bi-forked hill a mere desert will be.
My Thunder no fear on't,
Shall soon do it's errand,
And damme I'll swing the Ringleaders I warrant,
I'll trim the young dogs, for thus daring to twine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine."
Apollo rose up and said, "Pry'thee ne'er quarrel,
Good sing of the Gods with my Vot'ries below:
Your Thunder is useless"--then showing his laurel,
Cry'd "Sic evitable fulmen" you know!
"Then over each head
My laurels I'll spread
So my sons from your Crackers no mischief shall dread,
While snug in their clubroom, they jovially twine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine.'
Next Momus got up with his risible Phiz
And swore with Apollo he'd cheerfully join--
'The full tide of Harmony still shall be his,
But the Song, and the Catch, and the Laugh,
shall be mine.
Then Jove be not jealous
Of these honest fellows,"
Cry'd Jove, "We relent since the truth you now tell us;
And swear by Old Styx, that they long shall intwine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine."
Ye Sons of Anacreon then join hand in hand;
Preserve Unanimity, Friendship, and Love!
'Tis yours to support what's so happily plann'd;
You've the sanction of Gods, and the Fiat of Jove.
While thus we agree,
Our toast let it be:
"May our Club flourish Happy, United, and Free!
And long may the Sons of Anacreon intwine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine."
Sorry, I can't imagine the drunks in the bars of Baltimore belting *these* words out nowadays...

A Family's Story
A father who was a heavy beer drinker died from throat cancer in his late fifties. His son a heavy beer drinker also died from throat cancer at age 55. His brother in his late 40’s died a year later with cancer that started suddenly in his back. He was a heavy beer drinker. The oldest son of this family took his doctors advice to give up drinking years before he lost his brothers. He did and is alive today. Is beer good for you? Well, I guess it depends on your perspective.

Reasons why Beer is BAD for you!
Beer contains toxic yellow food dye. Especially the real yellow beers.
Increases the risk of cancer. If you have parents or grandparents that are/were alcoholics, then chances are that you might become an alcoholic. Alcohol impaires judgment. etc.
What is Yellow-5?
Yellow-5 has a couple of other names as well, Tartrazine is the proper name for it but there is also E102. Yellow 5 is a yellow azo dye that is used as a food coloring and has been banned in Norway, Austria, and Germany for quite sometime. It is used in quite a few different products not just limited to food products.
What does it do?
Well to foods and other products of course it colors it yellow, but what does it do to the estimated 360,000 Americans that have allergies reactions to it? For starters it can be just as simple as a little bit of indigestion. More seriously it can cause clinical depression, anxiety, vision problems, feeling like your suffocating, migraines, it can also cause you to miss out on a lot of sleep. Some of these symptoms can be caused from just from very small amounts of exposure to Tartrazine and can last as long as 72 hours!! It is actually believed that there is a link between children who suffer from hyperactivity disorders and Tartrazine, which means that some seem to think that Tartrazine itself is what causes the hyperactivity, not problems with the children. Some drugs that are made to help children with hyperactivity disorders are made with Tartrazine, which means it could actually be worsening the problem!
I call bull halafa (Chickasaw for dung) nothing personal
a whole 360,000 Americans are allergic to yellow dye?..good thing they don't put peanuts in there huh. Common sense applies here..if your allergic to it..don't eat/drink it. duh Besides if people didn't drink old milwaukee we wouldn't have to worry about that.
ADHD LMAO!
I have a 13 year old son that was on ADHD meds since my ex and I divorced. The problem, as I explained to my ex, was the fact that he was a boy...that was it. She didn't want to be a disciplinarian, and to this day tries to be our kids "friend" rather than a parent. When he comes to my house on the weekends or during the summer he leaves the pills at home...after one day of me putting my foot up his ass every time he acts like a little spoiled brat who's had excuses made for him all his life, what do you know...perfect child, who readily admits he only does what he knows he can get away with. My ex's thought process..he has ADHD and needs LOTS OF CHANCES....my process...you've been told once..now prepare for a size 13 up the ass. My way wins every time.
As the Bible tells us: "He who spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes" (Proverbs 13:24) and "Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul from hell." (Proverbs 23:13-14)
Parents need to discipline their children and not depend on friggin drugs to dull their senses to the point of apathy and ignorance. We have enough of that in this country, and I personally think that is the goal behind Amerika becoming a Ritalin nation with over 4 times the kids on ADHD per capita. Apathetic kids and parents who don't have to teach responsibility, just leave it to the schools, government, and the pharmaceutical industry. They all have the best intentions. (sarcasm)
I think I'll take my chances with beer.
Peanuts are natural - Yellow 5 is not!
I'd rather eat peanuts.
