Researchers: Hops in beer may be healthy.

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Hops used to brew beer may have some health benefits but researchers warn against expecting any significant effect by drinking a few cold ones.

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.

Here's to your health! :cheers:

Not to worry. They are an excellent source of something as are all snacks ending in "itos" or "etos."

And ever since I posted this thread...

this stupid song has been running through my head:

beer is good for you!
Beer is good for you (Pass it down)
Beer is good for you (Another round)
Beer is good for you (Pound it down)


Verse
Well you have one here and you drink one there
You stroll to the bar cause you think your seeing clear
You look to the left and you look to the right,
There's the girl i'm taking home tonight
So I throw her some rap and she throws it right back
Just hide your face in some sauce from the tap

Chorus
Beer is good for you (She's mine)
Beer is good for you (Hate wine)
Beer is good for you (One more time)
Beer is good for you

Verse
Magaritas, Cosmopolitans, and Chardanay too,
I'm always doing shots that I don't want to do
So give me something cold tall in a glass case or can,
So when she wakes up, she won't know who I am!

Chorus
Beer is good for you beer is good for you!
When your feeling blue
Beer is good for us
It always makes me cus
Beer is good for me
When doesn't look pretty
Beer is good for you
Beer is good for you (Rais'em tall)
Beer is good for you (Finish it all)
Beer is good for you (Drinkings fun)
Beer is good for you (We're done)


:lol: :cheers:

You're good to go, then. It's best to avoid raw veggies because they stress your body by forcing you to use little used muscles in the cutting/washing process.

99 bottles of beer on the wall,
99 bottles of beer,
you take one down
pass it around
98 bottles of beer on the wall.

Sing with me...... :cheers:

No, it was a Martha's Vineyard Salad from Arby's. :banghead:

Well, if you didn't have to do the cutting of the veggies yourself, you're probably all right. I'd have some salsa and doritos when you get home to balance out any defiencies caused by the veggie lunch. Always here to help.

Yes, I can't forget the beer. :cheers:
I'm most concerned about your health and mine. Oh, and Pete's and Mikey's and Aps cause they are my favorites. And appydays, like she has time to drink beer or eat the "itos."

I wonder if stouts have more flavonids?
Nope. Stouts use dark malts, but generally not a whole lot of hops. I think the "hoppiest" style of beer is probably IPA. Of course, they still only use a few ounces of hops in a five gallon batch and they are only in the liquid for a couple minutes. Thus the caveat that drinking a few pints probably won't help you.

However, there are still the studies showing that a beer a day is good for you...and darker is better :biggrin:

I use different hops quantities making the wort and then finishing hops at the end. Some beers are hoppy like Bavarian beers, some are not like the dark.
