Study Finds Toxic ‘Forever Chemicals’ In Beer

You might be surprised to learn that the next time you crack open a beer, you’re actually consuming something much more harmful than just alcohol. 

A new study has uncovered something that most beer drinkers would never expect:

Toxic chemicals in their beer.

The recent study from RTI International found that nearly every beer tested in the U.S. contained detectable levels of PFAS…

The infamous “forever chemicals” linked to cancer, liver damage, and other health problems. 

These chemicals don’t break down in the body, which means they stick around, causing long-term harm.

What’s even more concerning? 

PFAS contamination is tied directly to the water used in brewing beer. 

Since beer is about 90% water, if the water's contaminated, so is the beer.

Many of the beers from local or smaller breweries showed PFAS levels that mirrored the contamination in their surrounding water supplies. 

What’s even more concerning is that the PFAS levels were inconsistent…

Meaning some cans within the same six-pack contained higher levels than others. 

So, you could be drinking one beer with minimal contamination and another with a much higher dose of PFAS.

This isn’t a one-time thing, it’s a widespread issue. 

PFAS are in our water, in our food, and now, in our beer. 

And while many of us are aware of the dangers of these chemicals, seeing how they’re infiltrating such common products like beer is a wake-up call.

You might not think much of it now, but PFAS exposure adds up over time. 

They accumulate in your body, affecting everything from your immune system to your hormonal balance. 

Over time, this can lead to serious health conditions, especially as these chemicals are essentially impossible to get rid of once they're in your system.

What’s even scarier is how little we know about the full extent of the damage these chemicals can cause. 

New regulations are starting to address PFAS in drinking water, but the contamination is already widespread, and products like beer may continue to carry traces of it for years to come.

So, the next time you crack open a beer, remember: 

It’s not just the alcohol you're drinking. 

It’s laced with something worse, PFAS.

This study is a wake up call to rethink what we're consuming and the long-term effects it's having on our health.

Until next time,
