How else to account for the latest positive health effects of beer? Huh? Huh? Thought so.
Not only that, but crap beer need not apply. Only good and godly hoppy microbrews possess the needed xanthohumol which, researchers say, has the effect of "inhibiting tumor growth and other enzymes that activate cancer cells, it also helps the body make unhealthy compounds more water-soluble, so they can be excreted."
See? Even the much maligned beer piss is good.
Best of all no one knows exactly how much xanthohumol one needs to reap its benefit. I, for one, do not plan on taking any chances.
