ROLL OUT THE BARREL
|
This article makes me glad I'm a cheap drunk.
A main ingredient in beer may help prevent prostate cancer and enlargement, according to a new study. But researchers say don't rush out to stock the refrigerator because the ingredient is present in such small amounts that a person would have to drink more than 17 beers to benefit.
Oregon State University researchers say the compound xanthohumol, found in hops, inhibits a specific protein in the cells along the surface of the prostate gland.
More than 17 beers? In what time frame is unknown... because I know some fraternities that could probably have really healthy prostates. |
