The Dizzy Blonde is off... ‘sexist’ beer names axed


Bar presence: Elsie Mo then and now

DRINKS with sexist names and labels
have been banned from the UK’s biggest
festival of beer as campaigners try to
attract more women to pubs.
Brews with names such as Dizzy Blonde
and Village Bike have not been allowed at
this week’s Great British Beer Festival.
Organisers have also called time on beer
pump clips and bottle labels featuring
images of big-bosomed, semi-clad women.
The names have become a favourite
method for some independent brewers to
market their craft beers which are enjoying a

sales boom. But the Campaign for Real Ale
wants to change the image of beer as just a
men’s drink as it tries to make its festival,
which opened at London’s Olympia yester-
day, more inclusive.
National organiser Abigail Newton said all
1,000 beers, ciders and perries on sale at the
festival had been checked to make sure they
adhere to Camra’s new code of conduct.
She said: ‘It’s hard to understand why some

brewers would actively choose to alienate the
majority of their potential customers.
‘We need to do more to encourage female
beer drinkers, which are currently only 17
per cent of the population. Beer is not a
man’s drink or a woman’s drink, it is a drink
for everyone.’
Last year Nottingham’s Castle Rock Brew-
ery changed the design of pump clips for its
Elsie Mo beer from a picture inspired by US
Second World War aircraft nose art of a
woman in stockings and suspenders to one
featuring ‘Elsie Mo’ as a heroic pilot.

group who ate the most red meat
had a 23 per cent higher risk than
women who consumed least.
Researchers then divided the
women into four groups depend-
ing on how much poultry they ate.
Unlike for red meat, they found
higher consumption of poultry
actually decreased the risk of inva-
sive breast cancer.
The findings, published in the
International Journal of Cancer,
found women who ate the most
poultry had a 15 per cent lower
risk than those who ate least.
The researchers calculated that
if women both cut down on red
meat and increased their
consumption of poultry, the cancer
risk would drop even further – by
28 per cent.
Research has previously
suggested red meat raises cancer

risk – but until now, scientists
were unaware that poultry appears
to protect against the disease.
Dr Dale Sandler, of the National
Institute of Environmental Health
Sciences in North Carolina, said
that although researchers are not
sure why poultry reduces breast

have exaggerated the detrimental
impact of red meat, but said it was
necessary to highlight the links
between diet and cancer.
Breast cancer is the UK’s most
common cancer, with around
55,000 women and 350 men being
diagnosed each year.
British experts last night said
that while the findings highlight a
connection, they do not prove that
meat intake causes cancer.
Dr Mieke Van Hemelrijck, of
King’s College London, said: ‘The
study is based on women who have
a sister with breast cancer – so we
can’t be sure whether these find-
ings apply to the general popula-
tion.’ But she said results could
help scientists understand how diet
influences cancer development.

EATING less red meat and more
chicken significantly reduces a
woman’s odds of developing
aggressive breast cancer,
researchers have found.
Women who eat a lot of meat could
cut their risk of invasive breast
cancer by 28 per cent if they replaced
it with poultry, the study suggests.
The findings, published today, exam-
ined the dietary habits of 42,000 women
in the US. The women, aged between 35
and 74, all had sisters or half-sisters who
had been diagnosed with breast cancer


  • but were themselves cancer-free at the
    start of the study.
    They were then tracked for the next
    eight years, over which time 1,536 of
    them developed invasive breast cancer.
    The researchers, led by the US National
    Institute of Environmental Health
    Sciences and Columbia University in
    New York, analysed the results accord-
    ing to how much meat the women ate.
    The participants were first divided
    evenly into four groups depending on
    red meat consumption. Those in the

FORMER England rugby star Ben
Foden has married a New York
businesswoman he has been
dating for only two weeks.
Foden revealed the news to his
100,000 followers on social media,
explaining that he and Jackie
Belanoff Smith married in a pri-
vate ceremony on board a yacht
in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
He said he had received the
blessing of his ex-wife, The Satur-
days singer Una Healy, from
whom he split last year.
In a lengthy post on Instagram
alongside pictures of the week-
end wedding, Foden, 34, who now
plays in the US, tried to explain his
whirlwind romance with Miss
Belanoff Smith, who runs online
cosmetics firm The Goddess Line.
He said he expected people to
say he and his new bride were

‘mad or crazy or even fools’ for
deciding to marry after two
weeks, adding: ‘I met a girl who
seriously swept me off my feet
and in a time of hardship showed
me love, a deep devoted love.
When someone like her comes

into your life, why would I wait?’
Foden and Miss Healy, 37, mar-
ried in Ireland in 2012 after four
years of dating and have a daugh-
ter Aoife, seven, and son Tadhg,
four. They split last year after he
admitted cheating on her.
