As an “under control” type II diabetic I don’t consume alcohol with any real frequency. \u00a0However, I do occasionally break my diabetic beer fast with cheap beer. \u00a0Last year I found this story <\/a>to relieve my conscience some. Quick sidebar: I long ago decided I wasn’t gonna pay a premium for fancy beer.<\/p>\n

“A compound found in hops\u2014 one of the basic ingredients of beer\u2014 is capable of improving memory and thought patterns in mice, reported Quartz.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“While hops are the only dietary source of the rare compound, it would require drinking 2,000 liters of beer\u2014 or 5,636 bottles of beer\u2014 for a person to get the same effect.”<\/em><\/p>\n

That article raise the question of whether I could be mentally sharper than a mouse. That raises all kinds of OTHER interesting questions.<\/p>\n

And… As the frequent late night ads offer – But Wait, There’s More!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now Fox News is offering this:\u00a0Top reasons beer is actually good for you<\/a>. NOW it get’s fun…<\/p>\n

“The National Osteoporosis Risk Assessment followed more than 200,000 females and found that drinking alcohol decreased the incidence of osteoporosis (7). All of this leads to a decrease in hip fractures in elderly females, which is important because hip fractures after the age of 65 are associated with a significant increase in mortality.<\/em><\/p>\n

So, women, if you\u2019re concerned about your bone health, don\u2019t just focus on calcium; add some beer to your diet for another way to protect your bone density.”<\/em><\/p>\n

So… If I drink beer I will have a better memory thing. If The Wife of 40 plus years drinks beer she’ll be better able to dance on my grave.<\/p>\n

Sounds like a win-win to me.<\/p>\n
