Beer that Fights Cancer: No Kidding!

"Boffins may develop cancer-fighting beer"
"The Sydney Morning Herald" (January 14, 2008)

Food - drink, actually - that's good for you! A refreshing change from the "everything causes cancer, high blood, pressure, or whatever" medical news. Researches found (another) chemical in hops that's good for people: xanthohumol.

There's some of this cancer-bashing stuff in beer now, but these scientists plan to boost the concentration sixty times. I can see the ads, when the uber-beer hits the shelves:

"New and Improved! With Wonder-Ingredient Xanthohumol"

And, wouldn't you know it: The researchers are German.
