Regular consumption of beer can lead to hormonal imbalance in men, reducing the production of testosterone, said a nutritionist Maria Bakutina, FAN reported.

According to the specialist, beer is not considered a particularly high-calorie product, but it contains phytoestrogens. This element helps to increase the concentration in the body of the female sex hormone, known as estradiol.

In men, an increase in the level of estradiol leads to an increase in adipose tissue on the abdomen - abdominal obesity, as well as a decrease in the production of one’s own testosterone, Bakutina said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.
