Anti-Cancer Brew

BioBeer

— October 29, 2008 — Lifestyle
Finally, a vice that keeps on giving. BioBeer is being dubbed as a new type of anti-cancer beer. Students from Houston's Rice University are working on a brew that contains resveratrol, a chemical “believed to be responsible for reduced cancer rates in lab tests.” The super beer has also been found to increase the lifespans of several short-living species of animals.

Science is a wonderful thing.
