Quote from CreativeLoafing.com :
“Does beer have health benefits?
Of all the alcoholic beverages, beer is the most nutritious. A quality
microbrew would have the following nutrients (used here is Grant’s Scottish Ale
from Yakima, WA), per 12 oz. Beer: 145 calories, 2.24 g. protein, 0 grams of
fat, 12.7 g. carbohydrates, 75 mg sodium, 0 g. cholesterol, 195 mg. Potassium.
Also in there are vitamins B2, B6, B12 and niacin. Wondering why this isn’t on
the bottle itself? The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms prohibits
listing nutritional content because it might suggest the curative and
therapeutic effects of beer.”
Very interesting…
