Beer may become inaccessible for many people a luxury. Production of beer will decrease sharply and significantly increase prices. This forecast was made by scientists from the University of East Anglia, their conclusions are published in the publication Science Alert.
Experts predict the disappearance of the beer with a warming climate. In their words, “global warming will lead to a decrease in production volumes of barley – the main ingredient of beer.” The decline in the yield of barley, in turn, will lead to a significant reduction in the volume of beer produced.
“Depending on the severity of weather conditions may be lost from 3 to 17 percent of the barley crop. The reduction in the volume of beer produced will reduce its consumption by 29 billion gallons, which is equivalent to all the beer consumed in the United States,” calculated the researchers.
In connection with these processes for low-income people, beer can be virtually inaccessible product. Scientists predict rising prices for beer in average two times.
According to the data obtained by scientists from the University of Barcelona, a moderate consumption of beer may reduce the risk of diabetes and high blood pressure. Beer contains folic acid, vitamins, iron and calcium, which provide the protective effect of the cardiovascular system. Scientific observation suggests that people who moderately consume beer, a lower percentage of body fat in the body. The permissible amount of beer for health – no more than half a liter a day.
