    Exclamation 8 Beers That You Should Stop Drinking Immediately

    8 Beers That You Should Stop Drinking Immediately

    (Organics) 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 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!

    Their entire objection to Guinness is that it uses isinglass, which is largely filtered out during the process. The alternative is gelatin.

    So the nature-only, health-first folks are now objecting to the use of a fish byproduct during the process of making beer....
    Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.

    Seems to be a rather small list. I do enjoy PBR, but not from a can. I also like Guinness, but lately I've been enjoying anti-hero IPA and Lagunitas. My 2 beers a week are not enough to concern me. I'm sure the most harmful ingredients are not the ones cited in the article, and an excessive consumer will have something to be concerned about long before they realize the effects of GMOs.

    Now, on principal, I dont agree with GMO's at all. Especially Monsanto, and for that reason alone I would advocate not purchasing certain brands. Besides, good beer is not supposed to contain corn - the only reason why I drink PBR is because it tastes better to me than the other watered down domestic variety, and its priced accordingly. In other words, I'm not paying for fancy T&A commercials, I'm just getting my low grade domestic at the low grade domestic price.

    If I'm going to drive a ford escort, its going to look like a stock ford escort. I dont bother putting on a large exhaust can and a giant wing (Budweiser). In the end, you're not kidding anyone but yourself.

    In addition, "natural flavors" is such broad undefined term that I can't take it seriously being included in the list.

    The objections to isinglass and cochineal (insect-based dye) are purely emotional/cultural. It sound icky so it must be toxic.

    I've read similar articles and although this list has Coors Light, but not Coors it doesn't mean Coors is GMO free. In-fact another article specifies Coors and Coors Light with GMO ingredients. The same with Miller and Miller Light.

    All I buy now is Heineken or Belgian beer - whichever is on sale. I don't trust any beer manufactured in the U.S.

    Coors beer like most all beers is made with barley, hops, and yeast. None of that is GMO. Same is true for Budweiser. http://www.latimes.com/la-fi-beer-an...613-story.html

    Anheuser-Busch said it uses five ingredients for Bud and Bud Light: Water, barley malt, rice, yeast and hops. Anheuser-Busch, which makes more than 50 kinds of beers, including Beck's, Busch, Stella Artois and Michelob beers, said it will list the ingredients for all its other brands on its site in the next few days.

    Non-GMO beer? Label makes no sense

    Recently, beer joined the ranks of food and beverage items with non-GMO verification from the Non-GMO Project. How could beer be genetically modified (GM) anyway? In Science 2.0, Hank Campbell disses the idea of a non-GM beer in his article, Non-GMO Beer: For the anti-science hippie alcoholic in you, since “it never was in the first place.”

    So what in evil beer of their competitors is genetically modified? The wheat, the hops, the barley? No, none of those things are genetically modified anyway. Maybe it is the yeast. Germany has a purity law (The Reinheitsgebot) which has not been updated since 1516 (1) – and every single product in every single beer they make would technically be incompatible in the modern interpretation because no product in any beer is the same as it was in 1516 – but yeast is the thing that anti-biology types worry has been genetically modified continuously since then. Yet yeast isn’t even in beer, unless it is some intentional ‘cloudy beer’ effort, yeast is strained out before beer is pasteurized. To believe that changes the genetics of beer is like believing that your grandfather’s diet made you fat or that third-hand smoke causes cancer.
    Most beers are inherently non-GM because of the ingredients they’re made from: typically water, wheat or barley, hops and yeast. In case you’re trying to guess which of those organisms are the genetically modified ones, here’s a reminder of the genetically modified crops that are currently being grown in the United States: Corn, soybean, canola, and cotton a.k.a. The Big Four, and alfalfa, squash and papayas. The only way to have GM beer is if it were brewed with corn, or had corn-based additives.

    And “shockingly,” there are lots of beers that use corn, as the blogger Food Babe noted in a post. Usually if corn is used, it is used as an ‘adjunct,’ like a sidekick to barley or wheat. Not surprisingly, brewers do that to save money and Food Babe points that out in rather hysterical fashion.



    … it is super cheap for a company to use corn instead of fruit or other non-GMO sources. With cheap beer – you are not just getting a cheap buzz, you are getting the worst of the worst. Just like with cheap fast food – if you don’t invest in your beer – you will be drinking a lower quality product like Pabst Blue Ribbon that is made from GMO Corn and Corn Syrup.
    Actually, corn beer could be brewed with non-GM corn, there’s just no way to know. Much of the ‘ubiquitous nature’ of GMO food actually comes from corn-based additives like cornstarch and corn syrup, not that lots of different genetically engineered plants are being grown for consumption. And so it would probably be much easier to simply state that the beer does not contain corn, which is an actual food item, rather than slap on an ambiguous, polarizing and perhaps even misleading label.

    I'm too old to worry about what my beer has in it. I'll stop drinking it posthumously.

    Ya I don't drink any particular beer (except Mendocino Brew Co. and some other local micro brews) enough to be a problem and certainly not any of the ones in the list - I do like Newcastle and that is kinda lame they use artificial coloring - I do like Corona with a lime... who doesn't? I'll probably still drink it once in a while but it's never been a regular in my rotation. Guiness I still have no problem with as discussed above and the rest of the beers that are really cheap never make it into my regular rotation, but I'll still accept one if offered to me.

    "Caramel coloring" is not necessarily an artificial color. It can come from toasting the grains they use to make the beer or from other sugars. Newcastle does not use ammonia to color their beer. (the article does not say Newcastle uses an ammonia based caramel color but only that some caramel colors can be made from ammonia based ingredients).

    http://wordsbynowak.com/2014/04/17/viralscape-beer/

    The criteria for a beer to qualify in this elite eight-some is for it to contain one or some of a list of ingredients, including genetically modified corn and sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, caramel colouring and even insect-based dyes.

    Leading the pack is Newcastle Brown Ale. As the article states, consumer should avoid it because “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. ‘The one and only’ beer with cancer causing qualities.”

    In actuality, Newcastle fans can probably relax because there are several errors in those few sentences alone. For one, caramel coloring is one of the most common food and beverage additives in the world. As per Wikipedia, it’s found in “brandy, rum, and whisky, chocolate-flavored confectionery and coatings, custards, decorations, fillings and toppings, potato chips, dessert mixes, doughnuts, fish and shellfish spreads, frozen desserts, fruit preserves, glucose tablets, gravy, ice cream, pickles, sauces and dressings, soft drinks (especially colas), sweets, vinegar, and more.” Caramel coloring is in fact so pervasive, it’s next to impossible to avoid. Viralscape’s highlighting of it in one particular brand of beer tells us all we need to know about this story.

    But there’s more. The additive is not “made from ammonia,” but rather through heat treatment in the presence of the chemical. It’s a subtle but important difference: Newcastle drinkers are in fact not chugging ammonia, nor are they any more or less likely to get cancer because of it.

    Caramel colour has also been deemed perfectly safe, with different acceptable usage limits in different countries. In 2011, the European Food Safety Authority – a body known for being considerably more stringent than the U.S. Food and Drug Administration – tested the various types of the additive in response to concerns about their effects on children in particular. Its conclusion: “Based on all available data, the panel concluded that these caramel colours are neither genotoxic, nor carcinogenic and that there is no evidence to show that they have any adverse effects on human reproduction or for the developing child.”
    But hey- "drink these beers and die" got a lot of people to read it. Even if it is inaccurate.

    My latest fad is St. Arnold's brew, still somewhat a micro-brew (macro micro-brew?) with a wider distribution and lower price than the NW or Mexico imports. Or the go to brew is always Shiner Bock down here. Started drinking Fat Tire in the 90s when it was strictly CO available, still may order it if found on tap.

    You can be a "natural foods freak" and still enjoy a wide variety of pretty much anything, but what it comes down to are choices and frequency. Being educated about your choices and aware of the frequency of choices being made is key to good health.

    Drinkers of light beer should have no fear. Considering how light they make it, you will have to drink your weigh in beer to feel any negative effects for the toxic ingredients .

    But yea, isinglass and/or cochineal is no reason to stop drinking your favorite beer

    You misunderstand me. I find an objection to isinglass used during the creation of Guinness about as credible as objecting to the color of the room in which it was stored. The only feasible basis for being upset is that it makes the beer a no-no for vegans/vegetarians, which hardly makes it the vile poison the OP pretends that it is.

    These are also the same people who want you to eat any number of awful things, or even drink your own urine in a pinch, but using isinglass to attract excess yeast in batches of beer? Oh that's just stepping over the line.
    Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.

    I wasn't worried about the safety of the coloring. It's just lame for a brewer to add coloring rather than selling the beer with the color the malt produces. This ain't soda pop.
