Research is showing that beer could join the ranks of other guilt-inducing but wildly popular foods -- chocolate, coffee and red wine -- as a possible disease-fighter.

It turns out that beer hops contain a unique micronutrient that inhibits cancer-causing enzymes. Hops are plants used in beer to give it aroma, flavor and bitterness.

What Stevens and others are discovering is that xanthohumol has several unique effects. Along with inhibiting tumor growth and other enzymes that activate cancer cells, it also helps the body make unhealthy compounds more water-soluble, so they can be excreted.

7. Would this mean the hoppier the beer, the better it is for you?

Like Pale Ales (IPAs)?

[bbinacan]

8. That's my take on the subject.

10. Bottoms up

"Still, no one knows how much beer is needed to reap the benefits. Mice studies show that the compound is metabolized quickly by the body, so it's hard to get a large amount in the body at one time, Stevens said."

9. Within limits.

Neighbors once made triple-hop mango beer. Completely undrinkable. Not only undrinkable, but it made everything else for the next few hours taste horrible.

It's one of the few beverages I've ever had that made Moxie seem downright delicious.

11. Also depends on the brewery

For instance, New Glarus IPA beer is decent (which I still have 5 left of a 6 pack right now).

But Schell's Pale Ale is absolutly disgusting.
