FEMALE HORMONES FOUND IN BEER
Scientists for Health UK suggested that, considering the results of a
recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer,
men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The
theory is that beer contains female hormones (as hops contain
phytoeostrogens) and drinking it may turn men into women.
To test the theory, 100 men were given 6 pints of beer each to drink
within a one hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the men
gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly
emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over
nothing, refused to apologize when obviously wrong, and had to sit
down while urinating. No further testing was considered necessary.
