What are the benefits of beer over water?

@AbbeyRhode Who knows, the fluoride might be better ;)

@Nimbus Fluoride is poison, the beer is healthier for you.

@AbbeyRhode Don't tell that to Brits ;)

@Nimbus I get the feeling a lot of them already know, and drink beer all the time, instead of water. 😜

@AbbeyRhode Controversial ;)

@AbbeyRhode fluoride free is a strong selling point but it has nitrites that can affect your pancreas, hops that increase estrogen levels and some have MSG added so you will guzzle it down and want more

@cherokeepatti Wow, glad I don't drink it any more!

@AbbeyRhode I know men who never were into sweets much and became diabetics, they drank a lot of beer on a regular basis. Processed meats also have nitrites in them if they aren’t the natural-processed type. There are nitrites in some types of produce but usually have enough vitamin C to protect those who consume them. Beets have a lot, drink beet juice and it’s like taking a nitro-glycerin tablet for some who need it.

@cherokeepatti It's awful how much supposedly healthy food is tainted with chemicals and additives. It's becoming more and more challenging to try to eat healthy.

@AbbeyRhode I talked to my insurance nurse last week and she said she believed that most of our problems stem from chemicals and other additives in our diet and I agreed with her. But there are also environmental chemicals in the air, in our homes and furnishings and in cosmetics and other hygiene items that shouldn’t be in them. For example, I believe I got lead poisoning and anemia about 15-18 years ago from 2 shades of L’Oreal lipstick that I was wearing from their Endless line. They discontinued it and within a couple months my anemia went away too, I had been taking iron supplements every day and never got a normal iron level, always low. I’m pretty sure a corporation like L’Oreal (Owned by Estée Lauder) has the resources to test their ingredients for contaminants but either chose not to or did it deliberately. We are being poisoned in a variety of ways including our water supplies. It only benefits the medical system and the pharmaceutical industry.

@cherokeepatti Two insanely powerful establishments, who are very happy to have everyone sick, and are not above helping that process along.

@AbbeyRhode I stopped buying L’Oreal products as a result. I wonder how many women who got pregnant and wore those lipsticks lost their babies? My aunt who lived a century ago, got lead poisoning from red cheek blush and had 14 miscarriages. She finally had a doctor who asked her to bring her cosmetics to him and have them tested. Her check blush had lead in it. I would have never known my lipsticks had lead in them if I hadn’t found a list posted on Facebook of over 20 lipsticks from various companies that were tested by an independent consumer group and found to contain lead. The damned FDA doesn’t test anything it seemed. They are so far up the pharmaceutical industry’s ass that they only do their bidding.

@cherokeepatti That's awful. They have known for so long how toxic lead is.
Makes me wonder if that's why I could never donate blood, because I was always anemic.

@AbbeyRhode could be

@AbbeyRhode you deserve top comment
