We asked Chris Mohr, Ph.D., R.D., one of Men's Health's nutrition advisors, whether corn syrup in beer is bad for you. The answer? It doesn't matter whether your beer contains corn syrup, because those refined sugars are eliminated in the fermentation process anyway.

"Sugar is used in the brewing process to feed the yeast as part of the fermentation, so the sweetener used for brewing beer is a moot point since the finished product does not have sugar," Mohr says.

In short, it's no big deal if the sweetener is coming from corn syrup or milk sugars or Gisele's tears of joy if no residual sugars are left after fermentation.

"Rather than being concerned are arguing about the type of sweetener used to brew beer, worry about how much beer you're drinking," says Mohr.
