In the spirit of the holiday on Monday, I found this
article on the BBC News website.
According to experts from the University of Wisconsin,
drinking 24 fluid ounces of Guinness a day with meals can
prevent heart clots that may cause a heart attack.
According to research, “antioxidant compounds in the
Guinness, similar to those found in certain fruits and
vegetables, are responsible for the health benefits
because they slow down the deposit of harmful cholesterol
on the artery walls.” While Guinness wont put any health
clams on their beer, they are looking into the continued
testing of this claim. Now the same effect does not come
from all beers, testers looked for the same results in
lager and found that this was only true in Guinness. If
you want to read the whole article, you can find it here:
