Is beer a FOOD?


Hmmm....yep you are correct. This is one of the most controversial topic to discuss. Anyway i will give some positive as well as negative ideas to prove both sides where you can decide weather its really a food or not.

What is food:- Food is any substance that can be metabolized by an animal to give energy and build tissue.
So if beer a food, should supply a significant amount of carbohydrate, lipids or proteins that can be easily metabolized and convert to energy.

After fermentation beer only left trace amount of non-fermentable sugars which accounts very small in percentage. As the carbohydrates act as the biggest source of energy beer gives nothing at all.

Then beer is not a Food...???

But what about other nutrients it gives?
There are a bunch of nutrients in beer, including: folate, fibre, potassium, magnesium, vitamins B6 and B12 and there’s even some calcium in there.

hmmm....So whats your decision now? .....Still confused....

Then you must know this too,

Is beer good for you?
Lets talk about this in another post....
