8 Beers That You Should Stop

Drinking Immediately

April 3, 2014

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.

1
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!

Here are the 8 beers that are commonly found in bars in United States that you
should stop drinkingimmediately.

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. “The
one and only” beer with cancer causing qualities.

2
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

3
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

4
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 fish
bladder and high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup has been long
banned from many stores and drinks.

7. Coors Light

5
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
