Great news – Beer is good for you!
For years I’ve tried to limit my beer intake as I thought it was bad for me. But it appears not. In moderation, beer can actually be good for you. At least according to researchers at the University of California. However, drinking just two cans of fizzy pop could up your chances of developing pancreatic cancer. I think it’s time to get a little drunk.
The reason beer is good for you, so it turns out, is the silicon levels it contains. We’re not talking lager here, but ale, the proper man’s drink. Malted hops and barley are rich in silicon, and though most of this remains in the husk during the brewing process, some makes it to the wort and then into the beer that is served in bottles and cans in every boozer around the world.
A separate study carried out by the U.S. Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention organization recommends we all lay off soft drinks as just two cans a week can double our chances of developing pancreatic cancer.
The message is clear: drink beer, not cola. I’m more than happy to comply with this health warning.
