Go! Stop Fermenting!
May 9th, 2008 by A/CYesterday a new Study surfaced in OZ.
This time it is Alcohol.
For years we have been told a glass of Red Wine is good for you, well not anymore.
The Time has come to put away all your toys, pack away your Yard Glass, stow you nip glass and remove your cocktail shaker…. dry your eyes its for your own good.
Men consuming more than 2 drinks of Alcohol a Day and Women more than one alcoholic beverage are increasing there chances of cancer.
Yep! another of life small pleassures removed from our lives. Full report on Aussie.
My Question after investing this further yesterday and today is:
Is it the Beverage causing the issues or could it be the high levels of Arsenic, Lead, Floride and other known harmful chemicals present in your drink that is the problem…
After all these beverages have been around for hundreds of years, the only thing that has changed is the way it is made!
your thoughts Please
One thing for sure I am not allowed to drink alcohol but there was one time while Christmas, my cousin actually asked me to try some of his red wine and the thing is I am not so much into wine and other alcoholic drinks although I used to like Anglia Shandy..but now, I am more into fruit juices and tea and plain water..talking about toxics, in this world, especially nowadays when pollutions levels are rising high in the city it is very difficult to get away from absorbing all the poison into our body even as we breathe through the air..
Nur Sarah Lam’s last blog post..Dear Readers..
Hey Aussie… I love beer, especially on a hot day and the beer is chilled! That’s really the only time I will drink it and even then, one or two of the light stuff is my limit. I think that Nur Sarah Lam has a point with the toxins being all around us. I am about to post (here at flowers) on an interesting concept of consumerism and how we are the main contributors to the air pollution due to the media driving us to go buy “stuff!” No matter what we eat or drink or breath, the toxins are all around us.
Buzzing with Ange’s last blog post..I Love You
Me too Ange
My Gran even has a twistie on a hot day to but back her natural salts she tells me..
I think she just enjoys one on the back porch…
Love your post btw
Hey AC - although tempted to hop on a moped and enjoy a cold one surely the odd beer / wine is all good but in moderation - i.e not every waking hour
Chang beer here in Thailand is preserved with Formaldehyde we’re told.
Dammit.
best not being having any of that then… ?
Hello Aussie
Beer has been the love of my life after Mrs Bo Snr. Bo and Lib
I have been a home beer and wine maker for many years and also a pub licensee for four years.
I think I have taught the UK founders an appreciation of good beer.
The pills I am taking for MS relief make beer taste like S***te.
The only thing I have found that is not affected is Guiness. I have never liked lager even the aussie stuff.
A few l glasses of Guiness and a bottle of nice red wine from anywhere in the world I am happy.
So please drink some beer and tell me about it
Cheers
Us two please AC -we could murder a Duval or a Hoegaarden with a slice of lemon, although we’re not sure CAMRA would approve eh Bo Snr?
I let you guys in on a little secret..
Aussies DONT Drind Fosters…. We send it over to you guys, because we think it taste like shyte….
I personally like Tooheys Draught/new but it is hard to get here.. so a nice cold bottle Crown Lager… I think….
One for Bo Snr
One for Jim
And One for Emma..
yum… washing down a nice packet of Roast chicken Crisps and some Salted Cashews… hmmm heaven….
Just for interest
When my Grand father was alive he went to hospital for Kidney stones… the Doctor after 4 days of trying to get things sorted… sent my Grandmother to the pub to buy 2 large bottles of KB Lager.. which he drank and was out of hospital the next day….
go figure..
Hi J&M
Hoegaarden is not naturally fermented as is Duval.
The Trappiste beers are still made by monks in Holland and Belgium
The best Trappiste Beer is in my opinion Chimay Grand Reserve of which I have a bottle for Bo’s wedding
So we can sit near you then?
Sorry, ‘cogsy bagsied’ on the top table.
Fair play…
Any Mung bean soup going?
what the heck is that…?
truly mung beans I have heard of but in a soup?
A form of lentil soup we guess - maybe its mung bean salad?
