Presenting both the concerns and problems of beer consumption as
well as the emerging evidence of benefit, Handbook of Beer Health
and Disease Prevention offers a balanced view of today's findings
and the potential of tomorrow's research.
From a beverage of warriors to a cheap and affordable commodity,
beer has been a part of our consumption for nearly 8000 years. Like
most alcoholic drinks it has been prone to abuse and in some
counties the per capita consumption of beer has led to considerable
health risks.
However, just as wine in moderation has been proposed to promote
health, research is showing that beer -- and the ingredients in
beer -- can have similar impact on improving health, and in some
instances preventing disease. For example, some cancers like
bladder cancers and the incidence of cardiovascular disease are
reported to be lower in moderate beer drinkers. Furthermore there
is a considerable body of emerging evidence to show that the
anti-oxidant capacity of beers is high. It has been argued by some
that the total antioxidants ingested in some beer drinkers equates
that consumed by red wine drinkers.
The key to this, of course, is understanding and this volume
presents a collection of the most current writings on the subject
of beer and it's potential in health.
