Sweet, sweet beeeeeer...

Beer is medicine:

It turns out that hops, which is the flavor component of beer, contains a cancer-fighting compound called xanthohumol.

Xanthohumol turns out to be toxic to several kinds of human cancer, including prostate, ovarian, breast, and colon. Further, it inhibits enzymes that can activate the development of cancer, and also helps detoxify carcinogens. It even seems to slow down tumor growth in the early stages. Scientists are trying to produce hops that contain even more xanthohumol, and the Germans are racing to develop a “health” beer.

Other compounds in hops are potent phytoestrogens which may help with post-menopausal hot flashes and also prevent osteoporosis.

There are many things in life one can have too much of: politicians, warts, snow... Beer ain't one of 'em. So bottoms up! It's good for you.

For those who can’t stand beer, herbal supplements made from hops contain the highest concentrations of beneficial elements.

Which is rather like eating peanut butter as a protein substitute for a nice, juicy, rare steak. You people who don't drink beer just don't know what you're missing. But that's okay... more beer for me!

Oh, and stay away from that nasty ol' wine; it's bad for you.
