Beer could stop bones going brittle

A study found that the bones of women who drink beer regularly are stronger, making them less likely to suffer from osteoporosis.

It is thought that the high level of silicon in beer slows down the thinning that leads to fractures and boosts the formation of new bone, the journal Nutrition reports.


Beer is also rich in phytoestrogens, plant versions of oestrogen, which keep bones healthy. ...

Sorry guys this only applies to women.  :cheersmate: :lmao:

That would require the addition of braincells for the beer to kill, sold separately.
