DARK BEER MAY PREVENT HEART DISEASE RESEARCHER SAYS.Taken from the Associated PressUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison researcher John Folts said like red wine and grape juice, dark beer contains vitamin-like compounds called flavenoids that inhibit platelet activity in the blood, making it less sticky and less likely to clog arteries. Dark beer has more flavenoids than light beer because particles called wort are removed earlier in the processing of light colored beer said Folts. Recent research in the Netherlands and several other countries seems to confirm that diets rich in flavenoids tend to reduce death rates from stroke and heart disease. Unpasteurized beer tends to be especially healthy because it contains live yeast, which is high in vitamin B.
