Beer Found to be as Healthy as Wine
Matt Clare writes "Researchers at the University of Western Ontario (Canada) recently found that beer has the same positive qualities that wine has previously been found to have. The media release quotes professor John Trevithick, '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.' For more info on how beer helps police harmful free radicals in blood, The London Free Press also has an article."
It's not too one sided. If they were truly influenced by their financers, they wouldn't have added the note about moderation. It would be more like: "Beer's good for you! Drink as much as you can afford."
It's good to use your head, but not as a battering ram.
