MODERATE consumption of beer helped protect the liver from cirrhosis and other diseases, a Spanish researcher said yesterday.
Susana Martinez from the University of Leon spoke at a conference of nutrition experts in Barcelona, Spain.
Beer contained anti-oxidants called flavonoids which helped to protect the liver from inflammatory processes, Ms Martinez said.
A moderate consumption amounted to 33 centilitres for women and twice that amount for men daily.
- Cancer risk from using condoms -
MOST condoms contained a chemical that causes cancer, German scientists said yesterday.
Researchers at the Chemical and Veterinary Investigation Institute in Stuttgart said it found the carcinogen N-Nitrosamine in 29 of 32 types of condoms it tested. "It is one of the most carcinogenic substances," they said.
When the rubber material comes in contact with human bodily fluids it can release traces of N-Nitrosamine.

For those of us who aren't Euro-freaks, .66 liters = 1.2672 pints. Or a little over half a pint for the ladies.
Hmmm. I LOVE good news. And the news looks as good as it sounds!
Beer! Helping ugly people have sex since time began.
660 mL... hmm... 2/3 qt... a bit over a pint of Guinness a day...
I can remember when our annual physical test were scheduled, (Air Force early aerobics training), we would all "get in shape" by goin' to the club and forcing ourselves to adhere to a strick Coors regimen. Oh, the sacrifices that we withstood for our country.
Today, I find that a beer marinade for my steaks works well. Adkins anyone?
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
So can wine but the human race isn't known for moderation.
Well Duh?
That's it. I will never again eat a condom.
That's waht I've been trying to tell everybody!
beer saved western civilization during the plague. the water
was infected; people who drank it died. the beer was not.
people that were smart enough to drink beer survived. they
also had a lot of sex, but the point is that they survived.
[no, I have no idea if it is true or not. but it sure creates
some confused looks on people's faces]
