flag Low-carb beer ads mislead by highlighting carbs/sugar while hiding high alcohol and calorie risks, study finds.

flag A new study finds low-carb beer marketing misleads consumers by focusing on reduced carbs and sugar while downplaying high alcohol content, which drives calorie count and health risks. flag Despite claims of being healthier, many low-carb beers have alcohol levels similar to regular lagers, such as Hahn SuperDry at 4.6% ABV, and alcohol remains a toxin linked to cancers. flag Labels aren’t required to show calories unless a low-carb claim is made, making comparisons difficult. flag Research shows most people add low-carb or zero-alcohol beers to existing drinking habits rather than cutting back, and widespread availability raises concerns about normalization and children’s exposure. flag The industry says marketing is responsible, but critics argue current rules fail to inform consumers fully.
