The study involved 19 men .
‘When consumed in moderation it can improve gut microbiota, which plays a role in digestion, according to the American Chemical Society's Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry.’
’A previous study showed that when men and women consumed non-alcoholic lager beer for 30 days, their gut microbiome diversity increased.’

On a hot day like this it’s tempting I must say! 🍻
(I hope this isn’t medical advice @Alex_Scope?)

A study of 19 men is hardly a study in my view1
-
That’s a small sample I must admit @janer19670

No I don't think it's medical advice don't worry @leeCal, you are just sharing the report that you've found, which is in itself reporting on a study.
A key question here is, how do define "in moderation"?0 -
In the article it does say;
‘In the study 19 men were divided into two groups who drank a 330ml bottle of either alcoholic or non-alcoholic lager with dinner for four weeks.’
So I guess one 330ml bottle a day with food is what they’re calling in moderation. I must say that is a small amount per day. (I’m feeling unusually thirsty now!)0 -
I always wonder in these things if the people also end up changing what they eat or do as well subconsciously0

Maybe the non alcoholic drink but alcohol damages your liver also one a day every day would most likely make someone dependent probably because your body is used to haveing it if you tried to stop1
