Sassafras root is still used to flavor traditional root beer, although since sassafras was banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because of the carcinogenicity of its constituent safrole, most commercial recipes do not contain sassafras. Some commercial root beers do use a safrole-free sassafras extract.
While beer doesn't have to contain hops, almost all do. Hops are simply the balancing element that keeps beer from being to sweet to drink. Today, hops are very popilar as theâ¦ primary flavor element, as in IPA-style beers, but the sweetness of the malted grains used to make beer requires something to even it out.
