Here's an article entitled "Beer is making you a girly man" from RPM Fitness:
Beer Is Making You A Girly Man
"There very few foods that are considered gender specific, beer however is one of them. Men drink beer, its a manly drink to be had cold after a hard day of work.
Sadly some bad news for you men who love your beer. Beer is doing its best to give you a free sex change. Its turning you into a girl.
It makes your boobs bigger, stops you standing to attention, lowers your sex drive and its the Germans we have to thank.

One of the main ingredients in beer is Hops. Now this was not always the case but the German Beer Purity Act of 1516 made it law that beer had to be made with hops. Prior to this beers were mainly made by herbs such as yarrow, big myrtle and marsh rosemary. Making what was called gruit.
This combination was both mentally and sexually stimulating, sweet right. Sadly this did not go down well with Protestants in Germany and they helped with the purity act. Knowing that hops reduced sex drive! Fast forward to today and most commercial beers are brewed with hops.
The Nightmare That is Hops
So what is the problem with hops? Hops is loaded, brimming with phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are plant estrogens.
Men are meant to have a lot of testosterone and a little estrogen naturally and for women it is the opposite. So drinking hops infused liquids increases the amount of estrogen in your body.
Now hops has a particularly sticky estrogen, Estradiol. Estradiol does a few terrible things to your manliness.

It increases sex hormone binding globulin (yes that is a real thing), SHBG binds to your free testosterone making it useless. The more SHBG you have the less free testosterone you have, this is the testosterone you want.
The estradiol then has the balls to interfere with your leydig cells in your testes which produce testosterone! So hops slows your testosterone production and makes the testosterone you do have useless.
The Horror, The Horror
What results? Well over time since you have lowered your testosterone and increased your estrogen levels you will start to develop man boobs and get really fat around your midsection. As your testosterone levels are lower you will lose muscle mass which will make you look fatter again.

Of course there is also the brewers droop, another real thing! Why do you think it has that name brewers? Because brewers who worked with hops for years pretty much had a sex change.
Lastly hops has a sedentary effect as well. Another reason it was added to beer, so people would not have the energy to do much and just feel sleepy.
Even Bigger Man Boobs
There is more! Yes another ingredient in beer is barley. Barley is full of B vitamins. B vitamins are good but barley has a stimulating effect on prolactin.
What is prolactin? Oh nothing just the hormone that is used to increase the size of women’s breast to make them bigger to breast feed! Prolactin levels in women increase naturally when they are pregnant as the body is preparing to breastfeed. Prolactin also increase when women take the pill as it tricks the body into thinking it might be pregnant.
Now men have nipples yes, but we are not meant to breastfeed so we don’t need prolactin in our lives. Yet when you enjoy your nice cold beer you are encouraging your boobs to grow!
Pick A Different Poison
Drinking a lot of beer will cause you health problems, even if its non alcoholic as the hops will play havoc with your hormonal balance. For those of you who do enjoy a nice cold frosty beer I would advise you enjoy it sparingly and maybe think about changing your particular poison."
