Does beer make you fat or lose weight? Like any alcoholic drink, beer is not exactly a friend of our line. Alcohol in fact reduces the metabolism of fats, and the more it is consumed the worse it is, of course. Also, unlike wine (unless we like bubbles), beer contains gas, usually due to fermentation. Here too, there are more or less “still” and bottom-fermented beers, but this often means that beer often creates the unpleasant inconvenience of swelling the belly and creating more fermentation even in the intestine, albeit momentary.

Yet, and yet, some studies have declared themselves in favor of beer, a real food that can supplement our diet with trace elements that are precious for health: and if in the past, scientists have declared that beer strengthens bones, it helps digestion. and even prevents kidney stones, today a new study claims that beer makes you lose weight. In theory. In practice a little less . This would be due to hops, or rather, to a particular flavoinoid contained in hops, xanthumol, which would reduce blood sugar and bad cholesterol.
The only particular: if the researchers are trying to create a supplement based on xanthumolas a natural adjuvant for weight loss, it is also true that beer itself contains too little of it to have a slimming effect.
Beer only makes you lose weight if you drink around 3,500 pints to absorb enough xanthumol.
A little too many. However, it remains confirmed that it is an excellent drink, as long as you do not overdo it.
