8 Beers That You Should Stop Drinking Immediately

by Shelby

Beer supposedly fuels the nation, and there is nothing wrong with a good beer every now and again. But the question is, have you been drinking the wrong beers?

While foods that we eat are forced to include a list of ingredients, making it easier to identify what we should and shouldn’t eat, beer is not held to the same standards. For years, the alcohol industry has lobbied to keep their ingredients secret under the guise of protecting their recipes.  As it turns out, they are more likely protecting the list of harmful ingredients packed into every bottle.

Here are some of the most harmful ingredients found in beer:

  • GMO Corn Syrup
  • GMO Corn
  • High Fructose Corn Syrup
  • Fish Bladder
  • Propylene Glycol
  • Monosodium Glutamate
  • Natural Flavors
  • GMO Sugars
  • Caramel Coloring
  • Insect-Based Dyes
  • Carrageenan
  • BPA
  1. Newcastle Brown Ale

1

Newcastle has been found to contain class 3 and 4 caramel coloring which is actually made from ammonia – a known carcinogen. “The One and Only”, indeed – the “One and Only” beer with extra cancer-causing ingredients.

  1. Budweiser

2

One of the most heavily advertised beers is full of GMO corn, and according to Greenpeace, experimental GMO rice.

  1. Corona Extra

3

Corona will make you think that their beer is a gateway to the beach, but in reality, it’s a gateway to GMO corn syrup and Propylene Glycol.

4. Miller Light

4

Another American beer that is packed with GMO corn and corn syrup.

  1. Michelob Ultra

5

Although not as popular, Michelob Ultra is just as bad as its more popular cousins, thanks to its use of GMO dextrose (GMO based sweetener).

  1. Guinness

6

Guinness is supposedly the standard for smoothness when it comes to dark beers, but its ingredients are a little disturbing, to say the least. For instance, it utilizes an ingredient called isinglass, which is made from fish bladders.

  1. Coors Light

7

Yet another American beer, popular because of its price, which uses GMO corn syrup.

  1. Pabst Blue Ribbon

8

PBR is full of GMO corn and corn syrup.
