Great news...........another reason to enjoy a good beer :)





There has been a lot in the press recently claiming that beer is both good and bad for you, and while most will be able to argue its benefits in moderation, ranking it alongside other drinks in terms of how healthy it is can be dangerous ground.

However, that hasn’t mattered to PETA, who point to a study conducted by Harvard School of Public Health, which says that it is beer that can strengthen bones and extend life, whereas milk is linked with obesity, diabetes and cancer.

“The verdict is in, and even beer beats milk hands down,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “Alcohol in moderation can be good for you, but there’s no way to consume dairy foods responsibly when they harm our health and cause billions of cows to suffer.”

As well as more serious health problems, PETA also claim that milk can be linked to conditions like acne, excess mucus, and symptoms of lactose intolerance, such as flatulence.

Beer on the other hand, can prevent bones from going brittle as well as lowering the risk of heart attack, strokes caused by clotting, and death from a number of cardiovascular causes. In addition, moderate drinking may help prevent gallstones and type 2 diabetes.
