Beer is good for you!
A recent article reports that German researchers just announced that drinking beer promotes good health. How could this lovely dream be possible? They say that, preliminary studies indicate xanthohumol, a compound found in hops, inhibits a family of enzymes which trigger cancer, as well as help the body detoxify carcinogens. While I cant pronounce xanthohumol even after a number of drinks, Im happy to hear about this latest news on how healthy consuming a few cold ones is (along with the known benefits of wine, cocktails, and highballs, this means its probably pretty unhealthy not to drink).
