17 beers a day keep prostate cancer away
Theoretically, anyway, especially when taken with pizza with tomato sauce
An ingredient in beer seems to help prevent prostate cancer, at least in lab experiments.
The trouble is you’d theoretically have to drink about 17 beers a day for any potential benefit.
Woo hoo!
And no one’s advising that.
“It’s every man’s dream to hear that beer and pizza can prevent cancer,” he said. “However, the 17 beers and four large pizzas needed to get enough xanthohumol and lycopene to help prevent prostate cancer is unfortunately not advised.”
Awwwwwwwww! Damnit!
Maybe I can selectively cull the best information from the article and present the “evidence” to Kelly in support of an all pizza and beer diet. It’s science, right? And it’s all in the name of cancer prevention, right?
That’s it, Jon. Lie to your wife. What could possibly go wrong?
Edit: Wow, this blog’s formatting sucks. Sorry about that.
