Beer from Rice

[EastStang]

Apparently Rice researchers are trying to invent a beer that fights cancer and heart disease. Pretty soon we'll be able to say, "but Occifer, I just took my cancer medicine, burp".

This sounds more fun



FOUR pub-loving pals have drunk themselves into the record books by visiting boozers in every county in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland.

The Black Country Ale Testers began their quest in 1984 and have just visited their 14,000th bar, The Stags Leap in Rugeley, Staffs.

Leader Peter Hill, 52, John Drew, 45, Karl Bradley, 45, and Peter’s dad, Joe, 77, got bored with their local The Old Crown in West Bromwich, West Mids, and began the charity tours which have raised £10k.

They have drunk 84,000 pints of real ale and plan to visit all 60,000 UK pubs — but it could take until 2084. Peter said: “It turned from a bit of fun to a serious hobby.â€

I could think of no one else on this board who could find an article such as this with the subject matter so dear to our hearts.

Interestingly enough, a friend of mine who's a medical researcher (Dr. Loren Cordain) has discovered a link between both cancer and heart disease and gluten ingestion. So you'd be working against that factor by simply adding resveratrol to beer. The theory is that grains are very, very new to the human diet, having only been consumed for at most ten thousand of the 2.5 million years we've been on this earth. See http://www.thepaleodiet.com

Now Pony Boy, we shouldn't be funding any research that discredits beer. Next they'll be somebody coming up with a study that Brie is good for you.

You're right. Violation of man law. I'll ask Loren to sweep this portion of his research under the rug.

Beer Chilling Exercise Bike Puts You On the Drunk Diet




Don't be fooled. Pedaling around on a bike that chills your beers probably won't result in much weight loss. In fact, you may actually pack on a few as you enjoy the beechwood aged fruits of your labor. The bike has a heat pump attached to the pedals so the more you pedal the cooler the beer set inside the copper coil will get. It is just the incentive the lazy couch potato needs to get up and start moving. Next up, tackling the fresh air of the great outdoors.
