[PROCON]

True story: I just had my annual VA physical, blood and urine test, and had a phone interview with my Doc instead of in-person and the first question he asked me is if I drink beer. I replied yes. He then asked if I drink IPA's, I answered yes, exclusively.

He goes on to inform me that my good cholesterol score went way up and mentioned that a recent study showed that hops, which IPA's are heavy with, tend to be beneficial to one's cholesterol and are heart healthy.

YES!

Hops are also a good source of phyto-estrogens. So keep that in mind, too.
