There are many rumors about beer. Of particular interest, however, is the statement of scientists that beer can bring more health problems to men than to women.
According to experts, this effect of beer is associated with the properties of the hops from which the drink is made. Hops are rich in phytoestrogens and these substances are similar to female sex hormones. For this reason, women’s breasts may appear due to excessive consumption of beer in men.
Phytoestrogens can reduce the amount of energy in a man, as well as lead to irritability and crying. You also need to carefully monitor the swelling of the breast tissues, because in this case only surgery will help get rid of such a “breast”.
Phytoestrogens affect women differently. They increase the effect of female sex hormones and facilitate the transition to menopause.
However, it is important to remember that everything is useful in moderation. When consumed in excess, hops, on the contrary, can cause various health problems.
Also, Booster Grant, president of the British Association of Independent Brewers, stressed that “female breasts” (or gynecomastia) in men may appear more due to a sedentary lifestyle, not because of beer. Also, according to the expert, certain varieties of hops can affect it.
News cannot be equated with a doctor’s prescription. Consult an expert before making a decision.
