Ah, tis a wonderful world after all, this will go down as welcome news for those carb counting, health conscious folk. A beer a day could help keep the doctor away!
Those hard working researchers at the University of Western Ontario have come up with the good news that a beer, one single bottle of your favourite ale or stout, is just as helpful to your health as the previously saluted Red wine.
It seems one glass of the golden nectar contains the same amount of antioxidants as a glass of red. It’s a discovery that has surprised those conducting the survey. “We were very surprised one drink of beer or stout contributed an equal amount of antioxidant benefit as wine, especially since red wine contains about 20 times the amount of polyphenols as beer.”
Polyphenols are apparently one of natures little wonder workers that prevent the oxidization of the blood, a helpful thing in combating aging diseases, cancer, diabetes and cataracts.
However, for those that think loading up on the brews will lead to a lengthy and healthy life, think again. It seems as soon as we pop that third beer the good deeds are for naught. In fact once you pass the third drink per day you actually run the risk of bringing on all those diseases that the first beer was fighting off.
Maybe it’s true, too much of a good thing just might kill you.
