A happy little fact for all you lovers of beer: researchers are working on a beer that could actually reduce the risk of cancer. Six very ambitious undergraduates (possibly beer drinkers themselves) at Rice University are currently experimenting to genetically graft resveratrol so that it can be added to the ingredients that make beer. This substance in reference by the way is an antibiotic that is found naturally in grapes.

Earlier too, expenriments have indicated that reserveratol would give red wine qualities to fight age and cancer. But the students at Rice feels that if a beer is manufactured using reserveratol, the concentration could be higher thereby, the drink will have better preventative ability.

I’m sure time isn’t far when a soda can will be good to fight hair loss or erectile dysfunctions!
