Ah, I see you've had some then.

 

And its beer, not bier! Bier is a yellow colour that makes it look like it's been drunk once already, and is served by women with puffy sleeves to men in leather shorts who eat sausage. We try not to notice.

 

Oh yes... the [mis]spelling was purely a tongue in cheek reference to the topic beverage.

 

Whatever you call it; suds, barleypop, cerveza, brewkie, biru or by your specific poison, it all does the same thing... increased belch reflex, multiple trips to the little room with the crescent on the door, and in some cases a very large headache and other various maladies the morning after consuming mass quantities...

 

Don't do alcohol, so I'm safe.

That's why I home brewed for 15 years.

 

Oh! And for the Brits, as an owner of a pristine 1969 MGB I am ecstatic that OSH is not on the list! I prefer the pre-charged cans over bottles.  Love to hear the charge release as the can is opened.

But you FLY!

As someone who's taken a lot of upper level university chemistry, this statement in particular just kills me:

 

"The Newcastle beer has been found to contain caramel coloring. Class 3 and 4 caramel coloring is made from ammonia, which is classified as a carcinogen."

 

I could make you a large amount of completely safe pure water or pure oxygen gas right this second out of several highly poisonous and carcinogenic compounds. The chemical precursor to some compound doesn't magically transfer its properties to the new product compound after a reaction. A molecule is *always* the same molecule no matter where it came from. This is a core principle in the science - nothing in chemistry works without it. You can make water out of some of the most poisonous compounds known to man, it's still nothing but two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom and has no ill-effects. It isn't made poisonous just because the compounds that reacted to produce it are.

 

This article is psuedoscience/psuedomedical junk I'm afraid. In actual science, evidence is provided to back up claims - people can't just declare their claims to be self-evident. (ie all the anti-GMO stuff here)

 

How do you know its safe ? Pseudoscience ? 

 

I don't trust any Government or Corporation to have my best interests. People kill each other everyday in the name of money, Corporations and Governments are not different !

 

Keep eating your junk food ! It makes me feel better by not to be eating or drinking anything concocted in a lab !

Glyphosate: The Elephant in the Room

Summary

Dr. Seneff began paying attention to glyphosate after she had been intensely researching autism for five or six years. Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide (known to the world under its trade name Roundup®). Among its many nefarious health effects, glyphosate disrupts the way the body manages sulfur.

In the process of examining all the known toxic chemicals in the environment and assessing which one(s) would be most likely to be causal for autism—given the specific comorbidities associated with autism—Dr. Seneff found that glyphosate matched up almost perfectly.

Both glyphosate and autism are associated with low melatonin, impaired sulfur metabolism (and low serum sulfate), low vitamin D, sleep disorders, disrupted gut bacteria, and more. Glyphosate—already a very dangerous chemical on its own—causes aluminum to be much more toxic. Glyphosate and aluminum can be viewed as "partners in crime," working synergistically with one another. This partnership plays out in several ways:

1. First, glyphosate preferentially kills beneficial bacteria in the gut, which allows pathogens such as C. difficile to overgrow. Not only does this lead to leaky gut syndrome, but C. difficile produces something called p-Cresol, a phenolic compound that is toxic to other microbes via its ability to interfere with metabolism. (C. difficile is one of only a few bacteria able to ferment tyrosine into p-Cresol.) As it happens, p-Cresol also promotes aluminum uptake by cells. P-Cresol is a known biomarker for autism and is also an important factor in kidney failure,which leads to aluminum retention in tissues and eventually to dementia.
2. Glyphosate also serves to increase aluminum toxicity by "caging" aluminum to promote its entry into the body. Glyphosate promotes calcium uptakeby voltage-activated channels, which allow aluminum to gain entry as a calcium mimetic. Aluminum then promotes calcium loss from bones, contributing to pineal gland calcification.
3. Bringing melatonin back into the discussion, glyphosate interferes with what is known as the shikimate pathway. Although humans do not have the shikimate pathway, our gut flora do, and we depend on our gut flora to supply us with essential amino acids and many other things. Disruption of the shikimate pathway in our gut results in depletion of tryptophan, which is the sole precursor to melatonin. Besides needing melatonin to transport sulfate into the brain, we also need melatonin to reduce heavy metal toxicity. Where supplies of melatonin are adequate, melatonin will bind to aluminum, cadmium, copper, iron, and lead, and reduce their toxicity. Where melatonin is low, a lot of damage can result.

Roundup® is the number one herbicide in use in the US and, increasingly, around the world. Unfortunately, its use has increased further in lockstep with "Roundup-Ready" genetically engineered crops, including genetically modified (GM) mainstay crops such as soy and corn.

Dr. Seneff believes that when children are overexposed to glyphosate, especially through consumption of the GM foods that are widely prevalent in the American diet, they are more likely to react badly to vaccination. To illustrate this point, Dr. Seneff and Nancy Swanson plotted a graph showing autism trends in the US (as measured by autism rates in the US school system), adverse vaccine reactions reported to the VAERS system, and glyphosate application to GM corn and soy crops in the US (Figure 3). As can be seen, the trends overlap almost entirely, presenting "tantalizing links" between these variables. Dr. Seneff infers from these findings that glyphosate is making vaccines far more toxic than they would otherwise be.

 

 

About the Author

Taken together, the body of evidence elegantly assembled by Dr. Seneff supports her hypothesis that the epidemic levels of autism (and other diseases such as Alzheimer's disease) currently seen in the Western world are caused by a severe deficiency in sulfate supplies to the brain. Under optimal circumstances, the pineal gland can synthesize sulfate stimulated by sunlight and deliver it via melatonin sulfate to the brain. However, aluminum, mercury, and glyphosate are working synergistically to derail this process, and sunlight deficiency (exacerbated by the misguided use of sunscreens containing aluminum nanoparticles) is further contributing to the pathology.

Remember this all ye who presume to fly. The rule is 8 hours per pint.

For each pint you drink you must not fly for the following eight hours. So if you drink 3 pints that's a whole day's delay.

Killians Red for me!

That's not wholly accurate. Dunkle bier is most certainly not 'yellow' in colour.

I never liked the taste of beer or any other alcohol in general.  The beer with the least taste was always best for me since I only drank it to for the buzz.

No problem, I've never been wholly accurate in my life.

One of my favorite brews is Wexford Irish Cream Ale and I highly recommend it. Unfortionately for me, I can know longer find it here in Florida. :sad: 

No problem, I've never been wholly accurate in my life.

I might add that "Dunkel Bier" is what prompted me to stop drinking entirely. After an evening in the Hofbräuhaus München during a school trip there in 1964, my classmates had to pour both our Proctor and myself into a cab and take us back to the hotel. I spent the entire next day throwing up my toenails whilst kneeling before the porcelain throne.

 

As a consequence, I missed out on a rather large part of our class trip. That was the end of my drinking days at the ripe old age of 15... :LMAO:

This reminds me of how I stopped smoking at about the same age!   :lol:

Well, in 58 years, I've never had a struggle with alcohol - alcohol and I have always been the best of friends. However, if anyone wants to stop drinking, I recommend this as shock aversion therapy :-

 

 

Many moons ago, I was stuck on an oil tanker anchored in the South China sea. The fresh water had gone and we'd run out of our own urine, so we had to resort to Orangeboom. Honestly, I've never met a Dutchman I didn't like, but to inflict this sort of toxic slop on the world is a borderline crime against humanity. As if wooden shoes aren't agony enough.

 

Focus III made amends, it must be said.

Wait, alcohol dehydrates you so drinking that probably wasn't a good idea!
