Kabula Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 If a person has a beer belly, no matter what size that person has a fatty liver and that is bad! Most people today have a fatty liver! Eventually a time will come when one has to take responsibility to control addictions, learn fasting and proper dieting, get periodic health checkups and lose weight. Losing liver function is the end of a happy life. The scientist may have been paid under the table by the beer companies for that content. Every heavy drinker I have know aged twice as fast, had health, sexual and relationship problems. In my opinion today, most content is misleading or spun for profit.

HooHaa Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 These are studies are generally utter nonsense, pick up by some media outlet and truncated into a misleading headline written by someone ill-equipped to understand their true meaning even if they were inclined to. A beer (or two) a day could protect from heart attacks, scientists suggest. Or up to two small 330ml cans of beer a day is unlikely to damage a person's health. So which is it?
