Beer is wonderful and good for you ? I?ve always known this, and I?ve said it regularly and loudly to anyone who will listen. Also, to people who would rather not listen. Now, science offers the latest proof that beer is medicine. Or rather that the structure of some of the molecules that make up beer and give hops it?s bitter bite, could be, in moderation and after years of careful research, used to offer treatments for diabetes. If the research pans out, it could mean a brand new breeds of drugs. If it doesn?t, that?s a shame, but we could still finally develop the world?s first truly perfect IPA. While that outcome is certainly less good than new lifesaving drugs, I would humbly submit that that doesn?t make it ?not good.?


New research from the University of Washington suggests that the team?s work may have uncovered one of the factors behind occasional studies that suggest beer can have a healthy impact on people suffering from diabetes and other conditions like obesity.
