Theoretically, anyway, especially when taken with pizza with tomato saucePORTLAND, Ore. - For many men, a finding by Oregon researchers sounds too good to be true: An ingredient in beer seems to help prevent prostate cancer, at least in lab experiments.
The trouble is you'd theoretically have to drink about 17 beers a day for any potential benefit. And no one's advising that.
Researchers at Oregon State University say that the compound xanthohumol, found in hops, inhibits a protein in the cells along the surface of the prostate gland. The protein acts like a switch that turns on a variety cancers, including prostate cancer.
I love research
Damn, looks like I'm gonna have to cut back on the brews to save my prostate.

At 17 beers you certainly will be trading a prostate risk for a prostrate risk.

The clock is ticking until someone starts complaining that federal money was used in this study.

Thanks for that mental picture. If anyone needs me, I'll be searing my retinas with clorox.

Brasky drank a full glass of liquid LSD with his eggs. Then he slept for 8 months straight. When he woke he rubbed his eyes and said, 'All in all, I prefer gin'. Does that help any ailment?
