Trying to cut down on IPAs though, I've been reading about the estrogenic effects on the male body. I drink mostly Heineken, if not maybe every once in a while, Lagunitas...
It's complete pseudoscientific BS. The origin of the misinformation stems from a book called "Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers" by Stephen Herrod Buhner. That title alone should be enough to make you question the source.
If you're an IPA drinker and you have man-boobs, odds are it's not the estrogen. It's due to the fact that you're drinking a high-calorie beverage and not making up for it by exercising regularly. I've been drinking at least one IPA a day on average for over a year and I certainly don't have "man-boobs."
Hmm...wonder why?
