Yep, looks like all those reports of beer being healthy just got another boost, and the black gold in particular. A study finds that a pint of Guinness a day helps prevent blood clots and heart attacks as well as aspirin. Lagers do not afford the same benefits. Researchers believe that Guinness contains antioxidant compounds much like healthy fruits and vegetables. Guinness' first study in 1920 consisted of asking people "do you feel good" after a pint, which resulted in the "Guinness is good for you" slogan. Cause honestly, who doesn't feel good after a beer? But some kill-joy told them they couldn't maintain that claim and they abandoned the health aspect. So its taken 80 years and we're full circle, drink up mates, its heart healthy again.Thursday, September 20, 2007
