Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Anheuser-Busch strikes back against low-carb diet books
Full article at: http://tinyurl.com/2pclu The error of their ways - Anheuser-Busch Cos. is worried that low-carb diet books wrongly dissuade people from drinking beer. In a new brochure, the brewer counters what it says are the three most common "errors." Low-carb diet books say - Beer is high in sugar, particularly maltose. Beer has a high glycemic index, and foods with high glycemic indexes are not appropriate for low-carb diets. Drinking beer will give you a beer belly. A-B says - During fermentation, yeast consumes the maltose, converting it into alcohol. Beer contains too few carbs to be tested for glycemic index. For example, a person would have to drink more than seven Bud Lights in 15 minutes to consume the 50 grams necessary to measure the resulting blood sugar. (hahaha-not!) Consuming too many calories - and a genetic predisposition - are to blame for a large gut. -- Jean M. New food of the week: Ice water. Lots of it. (The jalapeño peppers are very hot!)

From reading this you would think alcohol is calorie-free! Alcolol has higer energy density than fat. It metabolises into acetaldehyde then ketone bodies instead of glucose. So of course it is low GI, but high in calories. The same sort of consumer duping goes into advertising vegetable oil as "cholesterol free". Vegetables don't contain cholerterol, but some contain other types of fats. gtoomey > Alcolol has higer energy density than fat. I thought alcohol was 5 kcals per gram while fat is 9 kcals per gram?

Well, that much is true but he said fat which is 9 kcals per gram and definitely more dense than alcohol.

There are good, real beers available if you're going to drink beer. I don't see the point in poisoning the taste buds, whether you're low-carbing or not.

LOL you must be talking about me. Advertising is prohibited on this ng, but you knew that already. You just feel the rules shouldn't apply to you. Jerk. A person comes here for support and answers, not to be marketed at. > I'd rather court the majority of LC dieters, Yeah, the idiots who think you *have* to do the shakes and bars to do lowcarb. Oooo, I feel so *cut*. through TV and radio > interviews, who understand the concept of the book Ah that would be the 'I get to keep guzzling beer diet!' What's that you say? I'm not applying any common sense? Well neither do your so-called majority of lowcarbers. How's that different than your miss-portrayal of ng participants having too many Russel Stovers again? rather than beat > my head against the wall You mean we don't just roll over and beg you to use us good and hard?

This is merely a rebuttal. I'm sure ng participants can look up the whole sordid history in google.

Indeed, you are correct. http://money.cnn.com/2004/03/05/news/companies/mcdonalds.reut/ "Bud Light--the McDonald's of beer." My favorite comment ever on American light beer (the beer in question was Bud, Miller, or Michelob--can't remember which) was made by an English friend of mine years ago. The barmaid brought him a mug of light beer while his attention was elsewhere. When he turned back to his glass, he took a sip, looked at it quizzically, and said, "Seems like I've drunk this once already!" T. |
