Beer- is there nothing it can't do?

Turns out, beer is good for men. Hops contain an ingredient which has just been shown to help prevent prostate cancer!

Don't go stock up just yet, however:

He noted an ingredient in tomatoes, lycopene, has previously been linked to prostate cancer prevention. "It's every man's dream to hear that beer and pizza can prevent cancer," he said. "However, the 17 beers and four large pizzas needed to get enough xanthohumol and lycopene to help prevent prostate cancer is unfortunately not advised."
Atkins noted that drinking 17 beers a day can lead to alcoholism and cirrhosis of the liver, and overdoing it on pizza can lead to obesity and other health problems.
"Food, no matter how helpful it may be, is not a full preventive for prostate cancer," he said.

Got our Summer Wheat beer out of primary fermenter last night- it's still bubblin' after almost 3 weeks on the yeast, which is too damn long. Hope to brew more this weekend and bottle this stuff soon- we need it for summer, after all.
