Beers and Ales, Health Food

I always knew that my occasional brew was doing me some good.

Scientists at Oregon State University's Linus Pauling Institute have found a class of compounds called flavonids neutralize "free radicals" — rogue oxygen molecules that can damage cells.

One of those flavonids, a compound called xanthohumol, is found only in hops. It may help prevent some forms of cancer, researchers say.


I recommend this one, or any product from the Rogue Brewery.
