Beer Helps Prevent Alzheimer??s

Researchers from the University of Alcala in Madrid, Spain, in a report published in the January, 2008 issue of Food and Chemical Toxicology, pointed out that aluminum is neurotoxic and has been implicated as a causal factor in Alzheimer’s disease. But beer contains silicon, a substance that affects the bioavailability of aluminum. The study, which involved giving both an aluminum compound and beer to mice and later analyzing aluminum concentrations in brain tissue, found that the silicon in “moderately high” levels beer intake – the equivalent of two beers per day – limited the ability of aluminum to damage the brain.

And there’s plenty of evidence that moderate amounts of alcohol – like a beer, or glass of wine, or martini a day – is good for your cardiovasluar system.
