Disputes about the dangers and benefits of draft beer have been going on for a very long time. Modern research has proven that such beer is much healthier than bottled beer, but it is still impossible to call it completely harmless.
Useful properties of beer
Of course, if you drink too much beer, all of its beneficial properties can be ignored, since excess alcohol is very harmful to the body. Doctors believe that you can consume from half a liter to two live draft beer per day, it all depends on your body weight. Some experts believe that regular drinking is much healthier than sporadic drinking, but there is no scientific evidence for this.
Live beer is made exclusively from natural ingredients, some of which are used in traditional medicine. The beer really contains a large amount of useful trace elements and vitamins. For example, the human body constantly needs folic acid to meet the daily need for this substance, you need to eat about seven kilograms of cabbage or drink a little less than a liter of beer.
Beer is rich not only in folic acid, it contains a huge amount of B vitamins, which promote metabolism, ensure the normal functioning of internal organs, and contribute to the production of red blood cells.
Live beer contains iron, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, highly digestible silicon and a variety of amino acids. They are essential for the normal functioning of the body.
All of the above positive properties of beer are largely inherent only in draft or "live" beer, since pasteurization and filtration kill beneficial bacteria, make the beer "empty" and useless.
Harm and danger
Unfortunately, even live beer has a number of harmful properties. In terms of harm to the human body, any beer can only be compared with moonshine, since during the fermentation process it retains a number of toxic compounds that are by-products of fermentation. We are talking about fusel oils, aldehydes, ethers, methanol and others. Their concentration in beer is many times higher than the permissible level, for example, for vodka and other drinks produced on the basis of high-quality alcohols.
With the systematic use of beer in the body, a substance begins to be produced that suppresses the production of the male hormone testosterone, while female sex hormones begin to be produced in large quantities, which affect the change in the appearance of men. In men who constantly drink beer, the pelvis becomes much wider and the mammary glands grow.
