The high sugar content in these non-alcoholic beverages not only gives children weight problems, it also disturbs insulin secretion. Insulin plays an important part in the normal growth and development of various organs and fibers, including the breasts. Scientific research has shown a link between abnormal insulin levels and the risk of breast-cancer (more info on the website www.Beerandhealth.com).

Table beer (about 1.5 % Alc. by Vol.) contains sugars, but complex sugars, and these do not disturb insulin levels. Furthermore, the alcohol content of table beer is so slight as to leave hardly any traces in the blood. That makes table beer a healthy alternative to soft drinks. Some schools in Belgium offer table beer instead of sodas at lunch-time.

If your children’s health is important to you, and you live in the USA, please give your children non-alcoholic beer to drink in the USA.
