New Protect yourself from cancer with a frosty mug of beer!
[link|http://www.biologynews.net/archives/2005/11/26/anticancer_compound_in_beer_gaining_interest.html|http://www.biologyne...ing_interest.html]

A compound found only in hops and the main product they are used in - beer - has rapidly gained interest as a micronutrient that might help prevent many types of cancer.

Researchers at Oregon State University first discovered the cancer-related properties of this flavonoid compound called xanthohumol about 10 years ago. A recent publication by an OSU researcher in the journal Phytochemistry outlines the range of findings made since then. And many other scientists in programs around the world are also beginning to look at the value of these hops flavonoids for everything from preventing prostate or colon cancer to hormone replacement therapy for women.

"Xanthohumol is one of the more significant compounds for cancer chemoprevention that we have studied," said Fred Stevens, a researcher with OSU's Linus Pauling Institute and an assistant professor of medicinal chemistry in the College of Pharmacy. "The published literature and research on its properties are just exploding at this point, and there's a great deal of interest."

Quite a bit is now known about the biological mechanism of action of this compound and the ways it may help prevent cancer or have other metabolic value. But even before most of those studies have been completed, efforts are under way to isolate and market it as a food supplement. A "health beer" with enhanced levels of the compound is already being developed.

Beer might not prevent cancer - but I'm gonna drink a couple just to be safe.

Use P2P for legitimate purposes!
New Well, so far so good...
Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.
New That won't work for most North Americans
most of the beer sold here lacks anything remotely resembling a flavonoid, AFAICT.

New Well, the stuff I'm drinking right now . . .
. . is imported from Lithuania, and it's pretty hoppy.

New The stuff I drink is imported from Yorkshire.
That's pretty hoppy, too.

I am finding a pocket of nifty breweries local to Portland/Seattle area as well. While the US was a complete beer wasteland in the 1980's, in the '90s we've caught up with the great beer countries of europe in some regions. Denver and Seattle are two of the major epicenters in the great beer reform in the US.

New Yeah, when the big breweries bought up everyone else . . .
. . and closed them down, they sold all the equipment for scrap. Big mistake. The scrapyards maximized their investment by selling the stuff whole - found plenty of eager buyers and a movement was born.
