Summary

New research suggests that moderate beer consumption could be beneficial for gut health, similar to probiotics. Beer contains bacteria that boost the intestinal microbiome and anti-inflammatory polyphenols that combat various health issues. Popcorn, often considered a junk food, is actually rich in fiber, vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants. Potatoes can be made healthier by cooling them before consumption, converting carbs into slowly digestible and gut-friendly resistant starch. Dairy milk is a good source of iodine, essential for thyroid health, while chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is high in flavonoids that combat toxins. Homemade pizza, especially with unrefined flour and fresh toppings, can be a nutritious way to enjoy this classic dish.

Isn’t it common knowledge that popcorn and homemade pizza are usually not unhealthy? Cool info on beer though!

Edit: homemade popcorn*

There was a landmark study that showed no amount of alcohol is good for you just have it when you want it but justifying for health reasons seems silly

homemade pizza are usually not unhealthy?

This is what I’ve been hoping, as my tastes have change. I’ve been finding myself liking thinner crusts, less cheese, maybe even things besides pepperoni, and I like being able to choose toppings, including veggies that still taste like veggies. I just spent big bucks on a pizza steel so hopefully that was a good investment, rather than a junk food investment
