Subject: Cider Nutrition


Most of us reading this have most likely come across the topic of
nutrition and beer in the HBD before. These threads inevitably (not that
there would be any bias :-) tell us that beer is better for you than
most other forms of food - especially if you don't filter the yeast.

All that aside, I was wondering tonight about the nutritional value of
cider. The old saying goes "An apple a day keeps the doctor away,"
and I'm curious if people feel this applies to cider in any way. I can
see some of the same arguments/reasons for homebrew being good for you
being relevant for cider as well.

For instance, unfiltered cider would most likely have a degree of yeast
which would give a smattering of the Vitamin B complex. Then there is the
protein in yeast as well. Unfiltered cider, furthermore, would likely
have citric acid (Vitamin C).

The alcohol could be of some concern: a strong cider would have to be
drunk in moderation. Yet I'm sure that most of us are aware that
studies show a consistent and low level of alcohol consumption might
reduce the risk of heart failure.

Anyway, I'm curious. Any comments on the above? Anything to add?


Cheers,
