According to nutritionists, non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beer may contain too much sugar and calories. Frequent use may cause excessive weight gain. In this respect reports Daily mail.
Non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beer is positioned by manufacturers as a healthier alternative to the traditional type of drink. In this context, it is stated that the sales of this product are increasing rapidly. American nutritionist Fay Thompson advised consumers to familiarize themselves with the composition before purchasing non-alcoholic beer. Some types can contain up to four times more sugar than their conventional counterparts. The increase in sugar is a result of various processes that occur during the production of low-alcohol beer.
Johnny Clayton, production manager for Big Drop, a major American company that produces non-alcoholic beer, explained that the alcohol in standard strong beer is produced by yeast that processes sugar from barley malt. It turns into alcohol through the fermentation process. In some low-alcohol beer brands, excess sugar is not processed and remains after fermentation.
Professor Gunther Kuhnle from the University of Reading (England) stated that non-alcoholic beer has less sugar and calories than fruit juices. However, excessive use of this product may cause you to exceed your daily sugar intake. This can contribute to excessive weight gain.
