Chicago area book author Bob Skilnik announced his candidacy today for the role of United States "Beer Nutrition Czar." Skilnik hopes President Obama might soon be looking for another Czar who can help clarify the innumerable misconceptions about beer's historic role as a beverage of moderation.
After personally fending off dozens of Internet critics, nutritionists, and dieticians with the 2003 and 2004 publications of his "Drink Beer, Get Thin Diet" and "The Low-Carb Bartender," Skilnik thinks it's high time that the President appoints him as national "Beer Nutrition Czar" and allows him to spread the word of beer's nutritional benefits.
The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans cite several studies indicating that light-to-moderate alcohol consumption is linked to lower mortality from coronary heart disease, especially among men ages 45 or older and women ages 55 or older. But because of this bureaucratic suppression of such information, Skilnik has also recently written "Does My BUTT Look BIG In This BEER? Nutritional Values Of 2,000 Worldwide Beers" is now available in book stores and Internet book sites.
Tired of waiting for the federal alcohol regulatory agency, the Alcohol Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) to implement new changes in proposed alcohol nutrition labeling requirements that would tell consumers the nutritional benefits of beer, author and brewer Skilnik has instead compiled an impressive array of brews with their nutritional values. The paperback book can be used by dieters counting calories or carbohydrates or by moderate beer drinkers who simply want to know the nutritional values of what he or she is drinking.
In reality, you can find fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, K and water soluble vitamins like C B1, B2, B6, B12, folic acid, biotin and niacin in beer. In addition, beer also contains 21 minerals, no fat, no cholesterol and low sodium.
Bob Skilnik is a certified brewer and freelance writer. He has been a contributor to the Good Eating Section of the Chicago Tribune and a former columnist for the LowCarb Energy magazine. The Chicago writer has appeared on ABC's "The View," ESPN2's "Cold Pizza," and Fox News Channel's "Fox News Live," preaching the moderate consumption and nutritional aspects of adult beverages.
