SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - One of the main ingredients in beer appears to thwart prostate cancer, according to findings released by researchers at a university in the US state of Oregon.


However, a person would have to quaff more than 17 pints to imbibe a medically effective dose of xanthohumol, the evident cancer-fighting chemical found in hops, according to researcher Emily Ho
.


"From my studies, you would have to drink an awful lot of beer to get the amount that I saw," Ho told AFP. "So the counter effects of the alcohol may outweigh any health benefits from drinking beer."


It was feasible to make pills containing concentrated doses of xanthohumol, a flavonoid, or to bump up the level of the chemical in hops, according to study co-author Fred Stevens of Oregon State University's College of Pharmacy.


Scientists in Germany have already brewed up a beer containing 10 times as much xanthohumol as found with traditional recipes, according to Stevens.


"It tastes good," Stevens said of the beer, a microbrew with sales limited to within Germany. "It has a bit of a fresh taste."

The microbrew was marketed as a healthy beer, but any effect on cancer rates had yet to be established, according to Stevens.






17 pints...no problem.
