Study reveals that drinking too much craft beer will give you man boobs
Britain's love for IPA seems to have blown up over the past few years. People are moving away from the generic beers and lagers in favour of trendy craft beers from smaller breweries.
Although if you think drinking IPA is less fattening than the other beers on the market you'd be very much mistaken. A new study has found that drinking IPA can actually give you man boobs. Yup. Apparently the hops present in IPA naturally contain phytoestrogens, which act in a similar way to estrogen hormones. As we all know, estrogen is prescribed to dudes who want to undergo a sex change or women going through menopause to stop fanny dryness and hot flushes so it's not great for guys who don't want to walk around flashing a set of tits.
It's not all bleak though, as the phytoestrogens are much weaker than actual estrogen so you'd literally have to binge drink on a nightly basis if you're to develop boobs. But if you love your IPA and you notice yourself getting a little chunky around the chest department you know it's time to cut back.
