Researchers point to contaminated water after ‘forever chemicals’ found in all but one of 23 sampled beers
All but one of 23 beers sampled for toxic Pfas “forever chemicals” contained the compounds, new research finds, raising safety questions about one of the world’s most popular beverages.
The researchers checked craft beer from multiple states, major domestic brands, and several international labels.
When possible, they compared the measurements to Pfas levels in the county water supply where each was bottled, revealing a “strong correlation” that suggests contaminated water is driving most of the problem. The levels were often above some drinking water limits for Pfas.
Alcohol has some positive effects too while PFAS is just shitty.
Alcohol makes me feel nice. Do PFAS do that?
Exactly!
Great recent video by Howtown analyzing many past studies that report “1 to 2 drinks a day is healthy.” TLDR any alcohol is bad for you, but a little isn’t all that bad
Lembot, I see your other replys to people saying similar things. Just linking this video as its great and people reading this comment should watch it.
To be fair “having fun with friends on the weekend and enjoying a beer” is a positive thing
But yes, for health, any amount is bad
But that’s good for your mental health. So where draw the line? How about everyone just do what feels good (without hurting others) and don’t try to live forever.
that’s my point
Alcohol is literal poison…?
So? Almost anything is. My statement was “Alcohol has some positive effects too”, not “Alcohol has only positive effects”
The implication is that inebriation is a positive attribute of alcoholic beverages.
And heck, I suppose if I were given two choices between a poison that causes pain during the entire poisoning process, and a poison that only causes pain towards the end…I’d take the latter.
100% there is a reason you need kidneys to be able to drink it. The older I get and the fact I don’t drink makes this seem almost insane to me that drinking is as popular as it is.
Nope. The general medical consensus is that there’s no safe or healthy level of alcohol consumption.
Facepalm. Reread what I wrote carefully and in full. Pay attention to the word “too”.
But it really doesn’t apart from being effective at treating social anxiety. The “health benefits” that are associated with alcohol are being disproven
Plus, any benefits it provides would still end up as a net negative health impact because of the fact that no amount is healthy.
Read even more carefully. You’re not careful enough. Don’t rush. Think.
