Here are the 8 beers that are commonly found in bars in United States that you should stop drinking immediately.
 
Many of us choose what we eat very carefully, or at least dedicate our minimum attention to it. But when it comes to drinks, especially alcoholic beverages, we do little to make the best decisions for our health. Which is a HUGE mistake. All the work for your body can be ruined in a weekend out. While foods and non alcoholic beverages are required to list their ingredients and are monitored by the FDA, beer does not belong in either. Alcohol industry had lobbied for years to avoid labeling its ingredients. Some to protect its recipes, but most – to hide harmful ingredients.

Here’s a list of some harmful ingredients that are commonly found in beer:

GMO Corn Syrup
GMO Corn
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Fish Bladder
Propylene Glycol
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
Natural Flavors
GMO Sugars
Caramel Coloring
Insect-Based Dyes
Carrageenan
BPA
& lots more!

1. Newcastle Brown Ale


The Newcastle beer has been found to contain caramel coloring. Class 3 and 4 caramel coloring is made from ammonia, which is classified as a carcinogen. While alcohol is a carcinogen itself, drinking it in moderation may decrease your chances at developing cancer. However, more added carcinogens will have the opposite effect. “The one and only” beer with extra cancer causing qualities.

2. Budweiser


One of the most popular beers, or most advertised is Budweiser. Budweiser contains genetically modified (GMO) corn. In 2007, Greenpeace discovered experimental GMO rice in Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) beer.

3. Corona Extra


I used to love Corona’s commercials. They were so peaceful and relaxing. That is until I found out that the beer contains GMO Corn Syrup and Propylene Glycol. Propylene Glycol is controversial, and is said to may be potentially harmful to your health.

4. Miller Lite


This is another very popular beer in America that contains GMOs. Miller Lite contains GMO corn and corn syrup. It’s “GMO time”.

5. Michelob Ultra


Less popular but still readily available Michelob beer, should be eliminated from your choices. This beer has been found to contain a genetically modified sweetener (GMO dextrose).

6. Guinness


Guinness is often praised for it’s smoothness.  However, several investigations proved that Guinness ingredients are quite disturbing. The beer contains isinglass, an ingredient which comes from fish bladder and high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup has been long banned from many stores and drinks.

Update: Good news! We’ve contacted Guinness and they have stated that they no longer use high fructose corn syrup in any of their beers.

7. Coors Light


Coors light is a drink that is very popular at bars and among college students.  Mostly because its cheap. The beer contains GMO corn syrup.

8. Pabst Blue Ribbon


Pabst Blue Ribbon contains GMO corn and GMO corn syrup.

Healthy Beer Alternatives
So when it comes to beer you have to be very careful. Your best option is to find a microbrewery that you can trust. As with everything, try to avoid cheap, low-quality products. Bars may offer Coors Light, Miller Lite or Budweiser specials, but they are cheap for a reason. The rest of the world is banning GMOs everywhere, while USA is lagging years behind, and only several states offer GMO labeling laws. Try to stay away from any American beers. Choose organic beer. Beers that contain 100% organic labels, have to have ingredients that are all 100% organic. While an “organic” label just means 95% of it will be organic.  European beer is most likely to be safe from GMO ingredients but unfortunately, most other beer contains GMO artificial ingredients, stabilizers, grains and preservatives, plus, HFCS.

GROOMER



Groomer is a Märzen brewed by the oldest microbrewery operating in Montana, Bayern Brewing . This was a simple beer but it had a great subtle roasty note to the end of each sip that made it stand out. This beer is released for the ski season so grab it while the slopes are still open!

[naruto789544]

[jamesbond]

thanks for droppin' sir naruto and sir itachi . . .

sir james palitan mo fave beer mo hahahaha . . .

aw. . . thanks for the concern mam. . .  though as much i would loved to part ways with my fave beer, i guess i'm gonna stick with it hahahaha. . .  ang sabi naman in moderation eh kung paisa isa or dalawa or tatlo and hindi naman daily eh palagay ko pwede naman. . .  once in every two weeks i think hindi naman ganun ka-urgent ipagpalit ang isang bagay na nakaka-relax sa akin. . .  this is the reason why we worked hard and definitely we deserved some leeway along the line. . . wala naman akong choice at buds din ay kasama sa list. . . meron dito Tiger beer na and i dislike its taste. . . +like pa din at nakita ko naman ang care mo mam, and pagdating syo eh alam mo naman nakikinig naman ako. . . . akala mo lang matigas ang ulo ko (sa itaas ha) pero i do hear your concern. . .
