Guinness is Good for You
I am very pleased to announce that Guinness beer is healthy:
The researchers told a meeting of the American Heart Association in Orlando, Florida, that the most benefit they saw was from 24 fluid ounces of Guinness - just over a pint - taken at mealtimes.
They believe that “antioxidant compounds” in the Guinness, similar to those found in certain fruits and vegetables, are responsible for the health benefits because they slow down the deposit of harmful cholesterol on the artery walls.
This must explain the “Irish paradox” which refers to the observation that the Irish suffer relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease, despite having a diet relatively rich in saturated fats.
Man, life is good. Both red wine and Guinness beer are good for you.
