Is non-alcoholic beer really completely harmless

Non-alcoholic beer is not even considered by many to be a substitute for an alcoholic drink. In fact, how can you compare if they only have a name in common. Despite this, beer without degrees has a lot of fans. It is often chosen by those who got into a drinking company, but are forced to limit themselves due to the fact that they are driving. There are also those who drink non-alcoholic beer almost daily, instead of kvass or lemonade. At the same time, almost everyone is sure that if there is no alcohol in the drink, then there is no harm from it. Is it so?

In fact, non-alcoholic beer contains alcohol. In 100 ml of the drink, it can be from 0.05 to 0.1 percent. There are varieties where the content reaches 0.5 percent, and this is already 2.25 ml, that is, a teaspoon per half-liter bottle or jar. Therefore, drivers should not abuse such beer. If you drink more than 1 liter, the breathalyzer will be able to determine intoxication.

Beer lovers without degrees believe that it is completely safe for the body. Therefore, they do not limit themselves in the amount of alcohol they drink. But this is not the case. Even if we do not talk about the alcohol content, a soft drink has many other serious disadvantages. First of all, it is necessary to mention the chemical components that manufacturers actively use in order to convey the beer taste and color as much as possible.

Phytoestrogens are contained in such beer, as well as in ordinary beer. Psychiatrist-narcologist Marina Kalyuzhnaya comments on this fact as follows:

There are also a number of diseases in which non-alcoholic beer is just as dangerous as alcoholic. Among them are pancreatitis — acute inflammation of the pancreas, stomach problems, hemorrhoids, prostatitis, cystitis and diabetes mellitus. In short, a complete set, in which you can not drink alcoholic beverages. So, trying to replace one beer with another, a person with these ailments still puts his body at risk.

We often hear that regular beer in moderation can be useful. In fairness, I must say that there is a certain benefit from non-alcoholic beer. The drink contains antioxidants that help the body fight oxidative damage to cells that cause aging. It also contains B vitamins that are actively involved in metabolism and involved in energy production.

Not so long ago, German scientists proved that non-alcoholic beer is good for the cardiovascular system. They gathered three groups of volunteers and began to treat them. They gave the first company regular beer, the second — non—alcoholic, and the third - 4 percent ethyl solution. Everyone received 3 liters of drink and 3 hours of time to consume it.

After the experiment, a blood test was taken from everyone. He showed that in those who drank non-alcoholic beer, the content of the enzyme thrombin in the blood noticeably decreased. This is good, since this enzyme is involved in blood clotting, and causes the blood plates to stick together. Because of this, blood clots form in the vessels. But beer with "degrees" and diluted alcohol, on the contrary, increased coagulability.

Scientists from Germany have already found the use of non-alcoholic beer in medicine. They believe that it can be used as anticoagulants. These are medications that are prescribed to patients who have suffered heart attacks and strokes. Such people need to reduce blood clotting for a speedy recovery.
