Myth 2: His big belly is caused by beer
A German study published in 2009 looked at more than 20,000 men and women, and found that while drinking beer was associated with higher weight in men, it had no relationship to big bellies. The real cause is simpler: a mix of poor eating habits (too much high-fat, high-sugar food; and not enough lean proteins and fruit and vegetables), not enough exercise, age and genetics (some men are predisposed because of family history or their ethnic background). So, the dude who sits around a lot drinking beer and eating snacks will be at risk for a big gut.
