Why would young drinkers want to drink stout? Murphys isn't massed produced and wouldn't be sold in the average bars. It's very rare to see Murphys sold in the U.K, its aimed at a specific market and that market isn't young drinkers.
@Trotters222 I didn't realize that beers were divided into young and old drinkers. Are there other beers that you think are for more experienced drinkers?
@Trotters222 I'm 20 and love me some Stout beers. I'm also a U.S citizen, so my consumption habits are thus highly illegal, but I will always take a stout as my go-to for socials and whatnot.
I really love this one, 4 pack is reasonably priced and it deliverers a smooth thick amazing taste. I enjoy Guinness and this is right up there with that.
@AgileHProductions Yea i know what you mean. I want to take the challenge but at the same time i know theres not gonna be much of a difference. Over all I would still pick Guiness maybe for nostalgic of just for taste.
@EmeraldIsleStar Guinness Draught in the U.S. is 4.2 percent alcohol by volume. Murphy's Irish Stout is 4.0% alcohol by volume. That is is not a significant difference that would lead to getting significantly more drunk. Guinness Extra Stout is 6.0 percent ABV and that is more concentrated, but that is not comparing apples to apples.
@AgileHProductions The Guinness Extra Stout we get in Canada is ony 5% APV, but our guinness is actually brewed under liscense from Labatt Breweries, which would probably explain why. Labatt have been known to ruin what would otherwise be a good beer
Guiness was a bit thicker and more flavorful a few years back...seems to be watered down a bit recently. Same goes for Newcastle. What do you guys think?
@251Trioxin It tastes like they watered Newcastle down. I remember starting around...ahh...maybe 4- 5 years ago? Something like that. It wasn't how I remembered it when I first started drinking it. That incredible light bitterness and sweet taste at the end were now kinda...watered. And the thickness was a shade more dilute. Guinness I couldn't say though. Only started really drinking that about a year and a half ago. Tastes the same. Damn....I guess that means I missed out huh :'(
I love stout's and this takes guiness for me. I love both but if I had to choose I would pick Murphy's. I like the head alot more on the Murphy's the taste is really close to Guiness but I actually like the light body, or as some people have said it's a tad watery. To me that's not really a bad thing. It gives it a easier drinkability and less filling so you can drink more. Who doesn't like that !
Add half a shot of Jameson and half a shot of Irish cream to a pint, chug it down and BOOM!!! Car Bomb. Wouldn't recommend using Guiness or just do two or three if you do cause you will get hammered quickly.
I love Murphys! I love most stouts, but i'd say Murphys is my favorite! + It's cheaper than Guinness as well. (not for one minute saying i don't like Guinness, but I do love Murphys.)
murphy's is better than guiness I think it's smoother than guiness and have a little somehing that I can't tell I can make the differance anytime! Both beer are exeptionals and are really my favorite 2 beer.. but I would like to know if the Murphy's irish sotut got the same medicinal fact than the Guiness?
@fairhillnorrie Fun fact - we planned to review Beamish instead of Murphy's for this episode, but when Hayes the cameraman went to the store he discovered Beamish was no longer available in good old Ohio, USA. Didn't Murphy's buy Beamish or something like that?
Guinness and Murphy's tastes completely different to me. Guinness has a bitter taste, whereas Murphy's has almost a nutty toffee taste without the bitterness. It is also a lot lighter than Guinness. I would take a Murphy's over a Guinness any day. My only complaint about Murphy's is that it tastes like a really good stout that has been watered down.
I think Murphy's has it on Guinness. Taking along some with me kayaking tomorrow. As far as Guinness, I think the Guinness "Draught" blows, but love the original "Extra Stout". Would love to hear what you guys think of some of the dark German beers like Kostritzer Black Beer and my very favorite - Bischoff Dopplebock. I think people have forgotten the classic German dark beers. They are phenomenal IMHO.
I completely disagree with the guy on the far right. Murphy's is much thicker feeling than guinness...also much better than guinness. Loved the review though.
I think it's funny how they got into a huge arguement. I personally prefer murphy's to guinness. I think, from a taste point of view, Murphy's is without a doubt better. I think that the bitterness of guinness dominates, and it becomes hard to reach the nice flavors in the background. The one thing murphy's has going against it is (in my experiences) the head varies every time you drink it. Sometimes you get a great, thick head, while other times you get an extremely watery one. Great review tho
@mrphmcpat Thanks for the feedback. I recently had some really good Guinness in the pressurized bottles. That's the only way I think I'll drink it now. I've had two bad Guinesses in a row at bars on tap. It was probably dirty taps or old kegs, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I preferred the bottled Guinness to the Murphy's in this review.
I'd have to save after having both back to back, I prefer Murphys. It seems less bitter and more flavorful than Guinness. However I will say these two stouts were tried from the draught cans and not on tap. We can only get Guinness on tap here. For what it is Murphys does it better it seems. Its hard to beat a real draught stout so that is where the real challenge lies. Thanks for the review.
@cv05c We should try to review Guinness soon to compare, but I've been more excited about imperial stouts these days - especially Samuel Smith's - which we have a review to post soon. However, Samuel Adam's Imperial Stout is growing on me even though it's much boozier.
@AgileHProductions If i may make a request. See if you can get your hands on some beers from the Sprecher Brewing Co. in my hometown, Milwaukee. They make some great beers and one hell of an Imperial stout.
@AgileHProductions I think that the brewery is just starting to gain enough popularity to ship it outside of wisconsin. I know that it is sold in some cities in other states. However, if you check out there website, i think you can special order it.
When you posted this Murpheys was owned by Heniken and they also own Beamish stout as well. I suggest you try O'hara's irish stout or their red ale from the Carlow Brewing company
@kevsenior But if there is some truth in what you say , it is that you happen to kill fewer brain cells than an alcoholic does . But you kill them nonetheless wherever alcohol is in your blood . So if anybody really wants to live healthy , he must stop consuming C2H5OH at all . I can't see no other logical choice .
@kevsenior In short, I can't imagine by what miracle you can avoid all of those nasty effects ? There is no circumventing some hard facts of nature and definitely consuming alcohol and brain cell decay effected by the active agent C2H5OH belong to here .
Now to prevent infection which would be fatal the dead brain cells are removed from the brain through body liquids pumped into the brain . Hence come both paradoxical thirst and headache during hangover. The dead brain cells wander to the bladder and then go out with urine . Yes, whovever drinks C2H5OH urinates with his own brain!
@kevsenior "If you don't drink like an alcoholic " What does it mean to "drink like an alcoholic" ? With every drop of C2H5OH (=ethanol) drunk clotting of blood bodies in your veins set in with devastating effects for brain cells which due to lack of oxygen supply as a result of stopping the capillaries start dysfunctioning and gradually die away . This nasty effect of clotting in the brain capillaries can been seen using the electronic microscope and glancing deep into the eye.
@dsmman94 , "alcohol thins the blood, so how can clotting result from drinking?" Common sense might suggest that when one adds liquid to miscible liquid one should get a more diluted liquid as a result . Here it's not that simple though . To see experimentally what happens when C2H5OH (=ethanol ) enters your blood , just put a drop of your (or anybody's else) blood into some drops of alcohol . You won't get a thinner blood !
@dsmman94 What alcohol does to blood is damaging the outer layer of red cells (they transport oxygen) which makes them flow seperately in blood . Thus instead of separate red blood cells clusters of red cells are formed . Now when red cells form such clusters they can't get through the narrow capillaries in the brain and thus brain cells are deprived of oxygen .
@dsmman94 Oxygen deficit leads to red cells' dysfunctions and later to their death with all the observable effects on a drinker's behaviour - like mood alteration , disturbances of speech , movement etc. etc. Eventually , dead brain cells are removed with urine but they do not regenerate .
@dsmman94 By the way, one can observe this effect of alcohol on the brain through an electronic microscope that inspects the brain via the eye . In fact , it is how the real mechanism of how alcohol damages the brain was first established . Some observed individuals displayed stopped capillaries while others didn't and itw as was soon found out why .
@kevsenior "I realise but I don't care ." Do you really realise , my friend ? Do you realize that with every can of beer consumed you disturb your hormonal balance , receive a dose of drug cannabinol as well as of alcohols of higher order which you can e.g. find in paint thinners ? This is essentially what is contained in beer . And you don't care? Sure , much time is needed for this poison to devastate also your still - fortunately - healthy organism .
How many beer drinkers realize what really enters them with each can of their favourite beer drunk ? Has anyone of them ever heard of a very strong plant female hormon (phytoestrogen) 8-prenylnaringenin contained in hop from which beer is made? It makes a man look and behave like female. They absorb also cannabinols (hop is related to hemp) which effect beer addiction . Then a series of undistilled poisonous substances of beer fermentation like methanol and fusel oils ...
@Turksarebarbarians 'This phytoestrogen can also be detected in beer, but the levels are low and should not pose any cause for concern.' ~ Physiology Division, School of Biomedical Sciences, King's College, Strand, London, UK 'Most beers do not contain 8-prenylnaringenin in detectable quantities' ~ International Bibliographic Information on Dietary Supplements
@FelixAtrox " 'This phytoestrogen can also be detected in beer, but the levels are low and should not pose any cause for concern.' ~ Physiology Division, School of Biomedical Sciences, King's College, Strand, London, UK ..." Generally speaking hormons are an example of substances which have extremely high effects with extremely low dosage. Female hormon 17 β-estradiol (whose plant equivalent is 8-prenylnaringenin) produced by a healthy woman amounts to merely 0,3-0,7 mgr per day.
@FelixAtrox ...0,3-0,7 mgr per day. Can you imagine how "little" it is ? Yet it's enough to form a woman with all her bodily charms and female character. Now I'd love to learn from the "scientists" you quote what they mean exactly by "the levels are low" ? How much did they find in a can of beer they drank ? 0,2 mgr and that's why they concluded it " should not pose any cause for concern" as to become a woman 0,3 mgr are needed ? ;)
@FelixAtrox But jokes aside, how do they explain a visible tendency among many beer drinkers to develop with time female bodily and mental characteristics with enlarged breast and pelvis , rounded shape and unstable disturbed and irrational character , not to speak of impotence which inevitably follows any derangement of male hormonal background ?
@Turksarebarbarians What many that have female characteristics? What are female mental characteristics? 'Unstable disturbed and irrational character'? & what impotence? Do you have one scientific study? Or is all of science bought off?
@FelixAtrox "What are female mental characteristics? 'Unstable disturbed and irrational character'?" Well, dear friend, check what sort of substance this puzzling 17 β-estradiol is and what properties it possess and/or observe how little girls change when it starts being produced and you'll know . By the way , physiology is an objective science and there is no industry involved with billions of pounds invested in nasty drinking habits to keep this malignant business going.
@FelixAtrox "Virtually everything we eat -- grains, beans, nuts, seeds, seed oils, berries, fruits, vegetables, and roots -- contains phytoestrogens.
...Soybeans: 14–153, Beer: 0.002–0.005 ..." I am afraid you should re-read the British source from 2003 you're quoting . You treat all phytoestrogens as if they were one agent whereas one point is crucial - just like with poisons their strength varies greatly .
@FelixAtrox Now the STRONGEST phytoestrogen so far discovered is 8-prenylnaringenin and as your source explicitly states [Chaper 4, Table 4.1 "Classes of phytoestrogens and common dietary sources"] it is only found in beer[hops] together with its a little weaker counterpart 6-prenylnaringenin. Don't you think it's a big difference whether someone eats a poisonous apple seed or consumes a much smaller amount of arsenic ?
@FelixAtrox Bear also in mind that unlike soy, peas etc. estrogens 8-prenylnaringenin in beer is consumed together with alcohol (ethanol and fusel oils) and cannabibol produced by hops which belong to the same family as cannabis. Now this diabolical mixture of the strongest phytoestrogen, alcohol and drug must produce interesting synergy effects, needn't it ? In this respect beer is worse than alcohol . Alcohol attacks mainly the brain. Beer acts more extensively and more perfidiously.
@FelixAtrox To put it in a different way , what do you think happens when a boy or a man receives over a longer period of time instead of his normal male hormon testosteron female hormon 17 β-estradiol or its plant equivalent 8-prenylnaringenin contained in his favourite beer ? If a woman receives the male hormon, then she develops male characteristics , eg. a moustache can start growing. And how about the reversed case which is what drinking beer mainly amounts to ?
@Turksarebarbarians Hormones are not exclusive. Women have testosterone produced by the ovaries. Eating plants gives hormones. Are you against eating plants? Eating an animal of a different gender? Woman have moustaches without having an external input. One can drink a minute amount of alcohol & not be intoxicated. You are confusing effective dose with any possible theoretic input. You are confusing extra weight from calories, with hormonal change. Drug effect with hormonal.
@FelixAtrox "Hormones are not exclusive.' Sure , but it is through them that any beer drinker is most affected . Cannabinol and alcohol both in the form of ethanol and fusel oils contained in beer reinforce this effect . So beware of beer , my friend ! ;( "Women have testosterone produced by the ovaries. " And we males have scanty amounts of 17 β-estradiol of our own too . But it doesn't amount to 0,3 mg a woman produces whereas with beer we may reach the threshold and then ...
@Turksarebarbarians Study concluded infant feeding soy formula has no major adverse reproductive effects in male monkeys. Phytoestrogens were given to rhesus monkeys at the age of puberty. No adverse effects on the reproductive systems of male or females as evaluated by hormone concentrations. Cardiovascular benefits observed. No significant effect on sperm concentration, motility and morphology of the men. Any effect much less on semen in men of healthy body mass index.
@FelixAtrox You didn't answer my question about what the British scientists you triumphantly quoted consider responsible for the observable changes in the shape and behaviour of many beer drinkers , i.e. their effemination ?
@FelixAtrox "What study shows this?" You mean "What study shows 'the observable changes in the shape and behaviour of many beer drinkers' "? There is a Russian study on the subject as Russia is nowadays disastrously affected by beer alcoholism of its youth . But isn't it enough to open up your eyes and observe veteran beer drinkers in your neighbourhood ? With its proud 81 litres per capita annual consumption of beer the US has got plenty of exciting material to observe , hasn't it ?
@FelixAtrox "Are you against eating plants?" Definitely not the poisonous and harmful ones . How about you ? Would you eat any plant without asking if it may have negative effects ? 8-prenylnaringenin produced by hop is the strongest phytoestrogen found in the plant kingdom so far. Alfalfa and clover as far as I know are the next strongest phytoestrogen producers. I remember as a child wide fields of alfalfa . You can't find any nowadays . Lucerne phytoestrogen make cows barren and sick .
@Turksarebarbarians The similarities, at molecular level, of estrogens and phytoestrogens allow them to mildly mimic and sometimes act as antagonists of estrogen. Researchers are exploring the nutritional role of these substances in the regulation of cholesterol... Evidence is accruing that phytoestrogens may have protective action against diverse health disorders, such as prostate, breast, bowel, and other cancers, cardiovascular disease, brain function disorders and osteoporosis,
@FelixAtrox "One can drink a minute amount of alcohol & not be intoxicated." "Intoxicated"? Whatever amount of ethanol (C2H4OH ) gets into your blood , it produces a sad effect . Its scale can only differ , not its nature. What happens is that exposed to ethanol red cells form clusters which get stopped in the narrow brain capillaries.Now red cells transport oxygen to cells .Not getting oxygen brain cells start malfunctioning and die . One may ignore this process,but you can't escape it .
@FelixAtrox "You are confusing effective dose with any possible theoretic input." I admit it is hard to say for every individual beer drinker when he will develop a notoriously female-like shape and character. It depends on something I didn't mention - the microflora of the gut . If this microflora is capable of neutralizing hop phytoestrogen, it may take a very long time to produce the effects mentioned. But which beer drinker has his gut microflora tested before he starts drinking beer?
@Turksarebarbarians In short, whatever uses phytoestrogens may have, increasing breast size isn't one of them. Antagonist to natural estrogen. Hop prenylflavonoids pass unaltered through the stomach and small intestine. The main phytoestrogen in soybeans, genistein, for instance, is only 0.1 percent as strong as the human-produced variety. Virtually everything we eat -- grains, beans, nuts, seeds, seed oils, berries, fruits, vegetables, and roots -- contains phytoestrogens.
@FelixAtrox On a different note , your quotes remind me of the notorious story of the mad cow disease in Britain in the 90-ies. Although it was clear how and where it had developed , the beef lobby hired a distinguished university (if I am not mistken it was Oxford ) to produce an expertise to the effect there was no danger in consuming British beef and all what was known until then were "false rumours" , British beef was healthy as the "scientists" found out etc. etc.
Where big industry and vested interests are involved you can always find ways and means to buy an expertise you need . Britain's scientific institutions seem- alas-to be as notorious in that respect as the American ones.Definitely billions of bucks -if not more are at stake in beer so that all beer producers and profiteers would rather make us all blind , effeminate and impotent than allow the dismal truth to reach the public eye and thus ruin their so poisonous but so profitable business .
@Turksarebarbarians 'This psychotropic compound tetrahydrocannabinol could not be detected in any of the hop plants.' ~ Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
'This psychotropic compound tetrahydrocannabinol could not be detected in any of the hop plants.'...I am not sure if the learned fellows from Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine realize that both hemp/cannabis and hop belong to the same Cannabacae family?Another question would be what substance outside THC contained in beer could be responsible for forming observable depencency on beer?Looking forward for their expertise .
what's that ball do does it make the head of the beer for fluffy and make it last longer ?? and i think this a a kind of beer that you come home from works tired or stressed maybe eat it with dinner to.
@dorf68 sort of. I bought the first couple of beers, but we are all having fun with it, so everyone is taking turns bringing beer for the group. Thanks to Hayes on Camera 1 for bringing the Murphy's.

Guinness and Murphy's tastes completely different to me. Guinness has a bitter taste, whereas Murphy's has almost a nutty toffee taste without the bitterness. It is also a lot lighter than Guinness. I would take a Murphy's over a Guinness any day. My only complaint about Murphy's is that it tastes like a really good stout that has been watered down.

I think Murphy's has it on Guinness. Taking along some with me kayaking tomorrow. As far as Guinness, I think the Guinness "Draught" blows, but love the original "Extra Stout". Would love to hear what you guys think of some of the dark German beers like Kostritzer Black Beer and my very favorite - Bischoff Dopplebock. I think people have forgotten the classic German dark beers. They are phenomenal IMHO.

I think it's funny how they got into a huge arguement. I personally prefer murphy's to guinness. I think, from a taste point of view, Murphy's is without a doubt better. I think that the bitterness of guinness dominates, and it becomes hard to reach the nice flavors in the background. The one thing murphy's has going against it is (in my experiences) the head varies every time you drink it. Sometimes you get a great, thick head, while other times you get an extremely watery one. Great review tho

@mrphmcpat Thanks for the feedback. I recently had some really good Guinness in the pressurized bottles. That's the only way I think I'll drink it now. I've had two bad Guinesses in a row at bars on tap. It was probably dirty taps or old kegs, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I preferred the bottled Guinness to the Murphy's in this review.

I'd have to save after having both back to back, I prefer Murphys. It seems less bitter and more flavorful than Guinness. However I will say these two stouts were tried from the draught cans and not on tap. We can only get Guinness on tap here. For what it is Murphys does it better it seems. Its hard to beat a real draught stout so that is where the real challenge lies. Thanks for the review.

@cv05c We should try to review Guinness soon to compare, but I've been more excited about imperial stouts these days - especially Samuel Smith's - which we have a review to post soon. However, Samuel Adam's Imperial Stout is growing on me even though it's much boozier.

@kevsenior But if there is some truth in what you say , it is that you happen to kill fewer brain cells than an alcoholic does . But you kill them nonetheless wherever alcohol is in your blood . So if anybody really wants to live healthy , he must stop consuming C2H5OH at all . I can't see no other logical choice .
Turksarebarbarians 1 year ago
@kevsenior In short, I can't imagine by what miracle you can avoid all of those nasty effects ? There is no circumventing some hard facts of nature and definitely consuming alcohol and brain cell decay effected by the active agent C2H5OH belong to here .
Turksarebarbarians 1 year ago
Now to prevent infection which would be fatal the dead brain cells are removed from the brain through body liquids pumped into the brain . Hence come both paradoxical thirst and headache during hangover. The dead brain cells wander to the bladder and then go out with urine . Yes, whovever drinks C2H5OH urinates with his own brain!
Turksarebarbarians 1 year ago
@kevsenior "If you don't drink like an alcoholic " What does it mean to "drink like an alcoholic" ? With every drop of C2H5OH (=ethanol) drunk clotting of blood bodies in your veins set in with devastating effects for brain cells which due to lack of oxygen supply as a result of stopping the capillaries start dysfunctioning and gradually die away . This nasty effect of clotting in the brain capillaries can been seen using the electronic microscope and glancing deep into the eye.

alcohol thins the blood, so how can clotting result from drinking?
dsmman94 1 year ago
@dsmman94 , "alcohol thins the blood, so how can clotting result from drinking?" Common sense might suggest that when one adds liquid to miscible liquid one should get a more diluted liquid as a result . Here it's not that simple though . To see experimentally what happens when C2H5OH (=ethanol ) enters your blood , just put a drop of your (or anybody's else) blood into some drops of alcohol . You won't get a thinner blood !
Turksarebarbarians 1 year ago
@dsmman94 What alcohol does to blood is damaging the outer layer of red cells (they transport oxygen) which makes them flow seperately in blood . Thus instead of separate red blood cells clusters of red cells are formed . Now when red cells form such clusters they can't get through the narrow capillaries in the brain and thus brain cells are deprived of oxygen .
Turksarebarbarians 1 year ago
@dsmman94 Oxygen deficit leads to red cells' dysfunctions and later to their death with all the observable effects on a drinker's behaviour - like mood alteration , disturbances of speech , movement etc. etc. Eventually , dead brain cells are removed with urine but they do not regenerate .
Turksarebarbarians 1 year ago
@dsmman94 By the way, one can observe this effect of alcohol on the brain through an electronic microscope that inspects the brain via the eye . In fact , it is how the real mechanism of how alcohol damages the brain was first established . Some observed individuals displayed stopped capillaries while others didn't and itw as was soon found out why .

How many beer drinkers realize what really enters them with each can of their favourite beer drunk ? Has anyone of them ever heard of a very strong plant female hormon (phytoestrogen) 8-prenylnaringenin contained in hop from which beer is made? It makes a man look and behave like female. They absorb also cannabinols (hop is related to hemp) which effect beer addiction . Then a series of undistilled poisonous substances of beer fermentation like methanol and fusel oils ...

@FelixAtrox " 'This phytoestrogen can also be detected in beer, but the levels are low and should not pose any cause for concern.' ~ Physiology Division, School of Biomedical Sciences, King's College, Strand, London, UK ..." Generally speaking hormons are an example of substances which have extremely high effects with extremely low dosage. Female hormon 17 β-estradiol (whose plant equivalent is 8-prenylnaringenin) produced by a healthy woman amounts to merely 0,3-0,7 mgr per day.
Turksarebarbarians 1 year ago
@FelixAtrox ...0,3-0,7 mgr per day. Can you imagine how "little" it is ? Yet it's enough to form a woman with all her bodily charms and female character. Now I'd love to learn from the "scientists" you quote what they mean exactly by "the levels are low" ? How much did they find in a can of beer they drank ? 0,2 mgr and that's why they concluded it " should not pose any cause for concern" as to become a woman 0,3 mgr are needed ? ;)

Turksarebarbarians 1 year ago
@FelixAtrox Now the STRONGEST phytoestrogen so far discovered is 8-prenylnaringenin and as your source explicitly states [Chaper 4, Table 4.1 "Classes of phytoestrogens and common dietary sources"] it is only found in beer[hops] together with its a little weaker counterpart 6-prenylnaringenin. Don't you think it's a big difference whether someone eats a poisonous apple seed or consumes a much smaller amount of arsenic ?

@FelixAtrox Bear also in mind that unlike soy, peas etc. estrogens 8-prenylnaringenin in beer is consumed together with alcohol (ethanol and fusel oils) and cannabibol produced by hops which belong to the same family as cannabis. Now this diabolical mixture of the strongest phytoestrogen, alcohol and drug must produce interesting synergy effects, needn't it ? In this respect beer is worse than alcohol . Alcohol attacks mainly the brain. Beer acts more extensively and more perfidiously.
Turksarebarbarians 1 year ago
@FelixAtrox To put it in a different way , what do you think happens when a boy or a man receives over a longer period of time instead of his normal male hormon testosteron female hormon 17 β-estradiol or its plant equivalent 8-prenylnaringenin contained in his favourite beer ? If a woman receives the male hormon, then she develops male characteristics , eg. a moustache can start growing. And how about the reversed case which is what drinking beer mainly amounts to ?
Turksarebarbarians 1 year ago
@Turksarebarbarians Hormones are not exclusive. Women have testosterone produced by the ovaries. Eating plants gives hormones. Are you against eating plants? Eating an animal of a different gender? Woman have moustaches without having an external input. One can drink a minute amount of alcohol & not be intoxicated. You are confusing effective dose with any possible theoretic input. You are confusing extra weight from calories, with hormonal change. Drug effect with hormonal.
FelixAtrox 1 year ago
@FelixAtrox "Hormones are not exclusive.' Sure , but it is through them that any beer drinker is most affected . Cannabinol and alcohol both in the form of ethanol and fusel oils contained in beer reinforce this effect . So beware of beer , my friend ! ;( "Women have testosterone produced by the ovaries.

No adverse effects on the reproductive systems of male or females as evaluated by hormone concentrations. Cardiovascular benefits observed.

@FelixAtrox "Are you against eating plants?" Definitely not the poisonous and harmful ones . How about you ? Would you eat any plant without asking if it may have negative effects ? 8-prenylnaringenin produced by hop is the strongest phytoestrogen found in the plant kingdom so far. Alfalfa and clover as far as I know are the next strongest phytoestrogen producers. I remember as a child wide fields of alfalfa . You can't find any nowadays . Lucerne phytoestrogen make cows barren and sick .

@Turksarebarbarians The similarities, at molecular level, of estrogens and phytoestrogens allow them to mildly mimic and sometimes act as antagonists of estrogen. Researchers are exploring the nutritional role of these substances in the regulation of cholesterol... Evidence is accruing that phytoestrogens may have protective action against diverse health disorders, such as prostate, breast, bowel, and other cancers, cardiovascular disease, brain function disorders and osteoporosis,
FelixAtrox 1 year ago
@FelixAtrox "One can drink a minute amount of alcohol & not be intoxicated." "Intoxicated"? Whatever amount of ethanol (C2H4OH ) gets into your blood , it produces a sad effect . Its scale can only differ , not its nature. What happens is that exposed to ethanol red cells form clusters which get stopped in the narrow brain capillaries.Now red cells transport oxygen to cells .Not getting oxygen brain cells start malfunctioning and die . One may ignore this process,but you can't escape it .
Turksarebarbarians 1 year ago
@FelixAtrox "You are confusing effective dose with any possible theoretic input." I admit it is hard to say for every individual beer drinker when he will develop a notoriously female-like shape and character. It depends on something I didn't mention - the microflora of the gut . If this microflora is capable of neutralizing hop phytoestrogen, it may take a very long time to produce the effects mentioned. But which beer drinker has his gut microflora tested before he starts drinking beer?
Turksarebarbarians 1 year ago
@Turksarebarbarians In short, whatever uses phytoestrogens may have, increasing breast size isn't one of them. Antagonist to natural estrogen. Hop prenylflavonoids pass unaltered through the stomach and small intestine. The main phytoestrogen in soybeans, genistein, for instance, is only 0.1 percent as strong as the human-produced variety. Virtually everything we eat -- grains, beans, nuts, seeds, seed oils, berries, fruits, vegetables, and roots -- contains phytoestrogens.

@FelixAtrox On a different note , your quotes remind me of the notorious story of the mad cow disease in Britain in the 90-ies. Although it was clear how and where it had developed , the beef lobby hired a distinguished university (if I am not mistken it was Oxford ) to produce an expertise to the effect there was no danger in consuming British beef and all what was known until then were "false rumours" , British beef was healthy as the "scientists" found out etc. etc.

Where big industry and vested interests are involved you can always find ways and means to buy an expertise you need .
