8 Beers That You Should Stop Drinking Immediately

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.
