Rumor:

Beer energy content is very high, drink more accumulated energy and fat are saved on the stomach, over time formed beer belly, data shows: those who have beer belly is not a drink of beer.


Dr. Beer countered:

Physical causes: As men age, their sleep time decreases, hormone secretion decreases, endocrine disorders, and the first consequence is that the abdomen with the least amount of exercise is more likely to accumulate fat.


Mental state

career pressure, family pressure, and emotional pressure have reached their peak after middle age, and many people have accumulated fat due to long-term office and lack of exercise; Increased social activities and a large number of working meals lead to nutrient enrichment.


As for why singles drink more, you know.


Data rebuttal

the average liter of beer energy is about 250 kcal (actual absorption less) men generally need 2000-2500 kcal of energy per day, in order to meet this demand, people need to drink more than 10 liters of beer a day, ordinary vials of 330ml about 30 bottles. To achieve the same effect, you only need to drink 3 liters of white wine (750 kcal/l), or 400g of potato chips (600 kcal/100g), or 5 chicken wings (> 400 kcal/piece). Compared to eating, any kind of alcohol you drink to the hospital will not have the effect of causing excess energy. Although some types of beer such as Shitao energy will be twice as high as ordinary beer, the general degree is also high, basically before drinking enough energy, can not bear alcohol.


Facts:

The Czech Republic (143 liters), Germany (105 liters) and Austria (105 liters), the top three annual per capita beer consumption, have an average life expectancy of 81 years. China's annual per capita beer consumption ranks 48th in the world (32 liters), and the average life expectancy is 76 years. However, this is a false proposition, in fact, the average life expectancy of people is only related to economic development and medical conditions, and has nothing to do with beer. And beer consumption is also positively correlated with the state of national development, the more developed the region, the higher the consumption, the longer the life.

The data also shows that those who die due to health problems have drunk beer, more than 99% have eaten rice, and 99% have drunk water!

Therefore, to deal with beer belly, the most important thing is to take care of your own belly.


Rumor:

Beer contains a large amount of purine, which forms uric acid after digestion in the body, which is easy to cause excessive crystals to precipitate into the bones, leading to gout.

Dr. Beer countered:

Science popularization: purines are endogenous hormones that can be produced by themselves in the human body, and play some physiological regulatory roles in the body. Generally speaking, purine compounds will undergo the action of metabolic enzymes in the body, and their physicochemical properties will change from hydrophobic to hydrophilic and excreted with urine. Metabolic end products are first found with urine, and people name them uric acid.

Data rebuttal:

Different kinds of beer have a purine content of about 100-3mg per 15ml, which belongs to the lower content type of common foods, and is the same level as celery (8.7), bitter melon (11.3), pepper (14.2) and other vegetables. Compared with tofu (55.5), chicken (150), fish (140), etc., it is far away, and compared with other seafood and animal offal, it is almost 100,1500 li. For example, <>g of dried fish contains more than <>mg, which is equivalent to a casual side dish fried dried fish, after eating it is equivalent to drinking dozens of liters of beer, which is more terrible?

World map: The world gout distribution map shows that high intake of seafood is positively correlated with the incidence of gout, not beer. For example, the prevalence of the most beer drinkers in the world is much lower than in Indonesia, a Muslim country and a complete ban on alcohol.
