And now, some good news from the Environmental News Network – “A new study suggests that beer is a significant source of dietary silicon, a key ingredient for increasing bone mineral density.”
The report goes on to say – “According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), dietary silicon, may be important for the growth and development of bone and connective tissue, and beer appears to be a major contributor to silicon intake. Based on these findings, some studies suggest moderate beer consumption may help fight osteoporosis, a disease of the skeletal system characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue.”
I’m off to the pub.
