THE BEER BELLY MYTH
Knocking back the pints won't make you fat, scientists have discovered.

And women who drink beer can actually lose weight!

British scientists studied 2,500 drinkers aged between 25 and 64 in the lager-loving Czech Republic.

Their research, published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, concluded that drinking the occasional half-a-dozen pints won't mean piling on the pounds.

Study author Martin Bobak said the results showed no link between beer intake and body mass index in men, while women who drank more showed a slight weight reduction.

The Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) said: "This is great news for beer drinkers.

"The fact remains that real ale contains no fat and no cholesterol. We'll certainly be raising a glass."
