health benefits of beer, yes you heard me correct BEER


it has long been known that moderate consumption of red wine helps people ward of heart disease and stroke, but did you know the same rate of consumption of beer is just as good if not better for you.

Wine is made entirely from grapes, water, and yeast, the grapes are a great source of sugars, fiber, and chromium, and the yeast is good source of vitamin B, but in the filtering process used in winemaking none of those good things survive until the final drinkable product. Beer on the other hand is made from grains(barley, wheat, corn, or rice), water, and yeast. The grains are loaded with vitamins that supposedly survive the filtering and fermentation, and the vitamins in the yeast also manage to stay around in unfiltered beer.

Don't believe me that wine or beer is good for you in moderation, look at the french. French people have a very low rate of heart disease despite their daily intake of fatty foods found in their cuisine. What is the cause of this, its their daily consumption of wine.
