BEER INGREDIENT PETITION
http://foodbabe.com/beer/

First of all, I was able to obtain a baseline list of “legal” additives allowed in beer from the book “Chemicals Additives in Beer” by the Center of Science and Public Interest. This list allowed me to ask specific questions about each beer I investigated. For example – beer sold here in America can contain several of the following ingredients:

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) –  alcohol is already addictive with some people, but with MSG?! Holy smokes.

Propylene Glycol (an ingredient found in anti-freeze)

Calcium Disodium EDTA (made from formaldehyde, sodium cayanide, and Ethylenediamine)

Many different types of sulfites and anti-microbial preservatives (linked to allergies and asthma)

Natural Flavors (can come from anything natural including a beavers anal gland)

High Fructose Corn Syrup

GMO Sugars – Dextrose, Corn Syrup

Caramel Coloring (Class III or IV made from ammonia and classified as a carcinogen)

FD&C Blue 1 (Made from petroleum, linked to allergies, asthma and hyperactivity)

FD&C Red 40 (Made from petroleum, linked to allergies, asthma and hyperactivity)

FD&C Yellow 5 (Made from petroleum, linked to allergies, asthma and hyperactivity)

Insect-Based Dyes: carmine derived from cochineal insects to color their beer.

Animal Based Clarifiers: Findings include isinglass (dried fish bladder), gelatin (from skin, connective tissue, and bones), and casein (found in milk)

Foam Control: Used for head retention; (glyceryl monostearate and pepsin are both potentially derived from animals)

BPA (Bisphenol A is a component in many can liners and it may leach into the beer. BPA can mimic the female hormone estrogen and may affect sperm count, and other organ functions.)

Carrageenan (linked to inflammation in digestive system, IBS and considered a carcinogen in some circumstances)

During my investigation, I couldn’t get a single mainstream beer company to share the full list of ingredients contained in their beer. But I did get some of them to fess up to the use of these ingredients in writing so I’m going to share this information with you now.

Carcinogenic Caramel Coloring

Newcastle, a UK brand, confessed to using what I would consider one of the most controversial food additives. Toasted barley is usually what gives beer its golden or deep brown color, however in this case, Newcastle beer is also colored artificially with caramel color. This caramel coloring is manufactured by heating ammonia and sulfites under high pressure, which creating carcinogenic compounds. If beer companies were required by law to list the ingredients, Newcastle would likely have to have a cancer warning label under California law because it is a carcinogen proven to cause liver tumors, lung tumors, and thyroid tumors in rats and mice.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

Many of the beers I questioned contained one or more possible GMO ingredients.

    High Fructose Corn Syrup (Guinness – unable to provide an affidavit for non-GMO proof)
    Corn syrup (Miller Light, Coors, Corona, Fosters, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Red Stripe)
    Dextrose (Budweiser, Bud Light, Busch Light, Michelob Ultra)
    Corn (Red Stripe, Miller Coors Brand, Anheuser-Busch Brands)

Most beers brewed commercially are made with more GMO corn than barley. Many of the companies I contacted dodged the GMO question – however Miller Coors had a very forthcoming and honest response. They stated “Corn syrup gives beer a milder and lighter-bodied flavor” and “Corn syrups may be derived from a mixture of corn (conventional and biotech.)”, admitting their use of GMOs.

I'M AGAINST ANY BOOZE.BUT LET PEOPLE SEE HOW THERE BRAIN GETS FRYED FROM THE INGREDIENTS IN THESE BOOZE PRODUCTS.I WILL NOT BE SIGNING THE PETITION.

Beer giants pushed to list ingredients-Bruce Horovitz, USA TODAY 1:18 p.m. EDT June 11, 2014-A03 alpop2 14-USATODAY

The nation's two biggest beer makers are getting cold water thrown on their long-held policies of not disclosing the ingredients in their brews.An online petition to change that — asking Anheuser-Busch and Miller Coors to post their beer product ingredients online — is being spearheaded by influential food blogger and nutritional activist Vani Hari, creator of FoodBabe.com.At issue: It's the Treasury Department — not the Food and Drug Administration — that regulates beer. So the beer giants are not required to post ingredients on their labels or on their websites. Hari says even though the law doesn't require it, consumers have a right to know what's in the beer they drink. And she wants the beer giants to post it on their websites."We know more about what's in a bottle of Windex and Coca-Cola than we about one of the world's most popular drinks, beer," says Hari.Among the ingredients Hari has discovered in some beers sold by the big beer makers: Prolyene Glycol, which is commonly used in airplane de-icing liquids, but used by some beermakers to control the head on their beers. Also, something called Isinglass, which comes from fish swim bladders, is used to make beer more clear. Some use high-fructose corn syrup, artificial colors and stabilizers that are linked to intestinal inflammation, she says.Hari says she's not asking beer makers to change their formulas — or their labels. "I'm not asking for government involvement," she says. "I'm asking for voluntary disclosure on their websites."Miller, in a statement sent to USA TODAY, says it's getting there. "MillerCoors led all alcohol beverage companies with a voluntary nutritional labeling panel earlier this year starting with our Miller64 brand. We value transparency and we will strongly consider the request for putting more ingredient information online," said the statement from spokesman Pete Marino.But Hari rejects that. "Nutritional labeling is distinctly different than ingredient disclosure, and it is not enough transparency for consumers to avoid additives like the corn syrup they use in many of their beers," she says.

A-B did not immediately respond.

The action comes at a time when consumers are increasingly demanding more information about what's in their products. Just last week, Panera announced plans to remove all artificial additives from its food menu by the end of 2016. Petitions by Hari are no small matter for food and beverage makers. One of her previous petitions coaxed an embarrassed Subway to agree to remove a chemical from its sandwich breads that's commonly used in yoga mats and shoe rubber.Hari's previous petitions targeting not only Subway, but also Kraft and Chipotle, have garnered more than 500,000 signatures, she says. Because consumers — particularly tech-savvy Millennials — are so concerned about food ingredients, the big food and beverage makers are increasingly worried about consumer backlash from such petitions going viral.Signatures on Hari's petition will be sent via e-mail to the CEOs of Anheuser-Busch and Miller Coors."It's shocking that these companies don't disclose their ingredients," says Hari. "But it's even more shocking that millions of us drink these beers without knowing what's actually in them."
