My wife was watching Dr. Oz and he had a couple guests talking about nitrates and how they can affect insulin the brain and be a contributor to getting Alzheimer's.
Huh?!?!? Nitrates in beer? They said they were in the older "processed" beer, and now most of the beer companies have "cleaned most of them up". Since there are no mandates on ingredients on beer, they don't need to say which ones have the nitrates.
Where would the nitrates come from? The only thing I can think of is smoked beer. Any ideas where the nitrates would come from?
If nothing else, it gives me more reasons to brew my own beer - I know there aren't nitrates are mine!
