Through the mysterious powers of the internet I happened upon an article from a Scottish newspaper, aptly named The Scotsman. But that’s not important right now.
The big news is this: Beer could be the new weapon against cancer.
MEN now have another excuse to go down the pub thanks to new research suggesting that a compound in beer may prevent prostate cancer. Tests showed that the ingredient, xanthohumol, blocked a biological pathway that allows prostate cancer to be fuelled by the male hormone testosterone. The disease is commonly treated with drugs that act in a similar way.
I think we all need to do our part in this important fight. So, I’ll be hoisting a few pints of lager tonight at Dolce Vita for sure.
You know, I think beer purchases ought to be a reimbursable medical expense. It’s the right thing to do.
