We settled on our house on Friday. These are the first two things I’d like to get for the new place:
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.
When I was in Ireland, I had a Guinness every day - often with a warm bowl of fisherman’s chowder.
I was surprised to learn that sales of the world’s #1 stout are down 30% in Ireland since 2001.
I guess there is a growing trend of people wanting lighter, blander, “refreshing drinks.” Not me. I had a pint of Amstel light last weekend and it tasted like beer-flavored water. On the label it should say “30% beer.”
Anyway, even though sales are down, Diageo’s chart looks pretty strong, up 50% in the last two years:
Maybe people are switching from stout to box wine for the resveratrol.
