OT great cancer news

Does it have to be German beer? I want to make sure I'm drinking the right kind so I don't get it either!

Don't forget, you and Polly, to report your success to the doctors. . In message , Louise in Iowa writes

You all are just plain silly! And how I love it! I have a difficult time explaining to my non-internet friends how connected we all are. I have to hold back on chatting about you all like we were next door neighbors....they just don't get it.

interesting, so when will it be ready for humans to use regularly.probly not in my lifetime.j.

I just asked DH to climb on the little step stool in the pantry and hand down cake cover. He said he was busy with his antioxidant. Polly

Back in the day, I drank my fair share of German beer, and I will state that even if you got cancer, you just didn't give a damn, if you drank enough of it. Now, with that bit of irreverence out of the way, They may have something there. German Beer is produced under very strict standards, that don't allow for the addition of any additives, or other chemical things, like are put into American beer, to make it stable and tasteless the way most Americans have come to like it. They just use pure water, hops, barley, malt, and that is it. If you use something else and call yourself a German brewer, you are subject to serious criminal prosecution. It might be that the partaking of a small amount of it on a daily basis, could have the same effects like those attributed to a glass or so of red wine. Unfortunately, I was never able to limit myself to just a little bit, and that led to my deciding to forgo further medical experiments, or other less humanitarian, experiments for lo these 30 years, so I can not be sure of the efficacy of the stated prophylactic effects of beer, German or otherwise. But I will say, German beer is great tasting beer, and that is reason enough to drink it, if you like to drink beer. Far better than the average mass produced American beer. IMHO.

That sounds like DH's Home Brew, even down to the home grown hops

The necessary ingredient (component? element? something) in the hops is xanthohumol. DH knows that, doesn't he? Polly

There was a woman who posted either on this forum or another that had to do with sewing that I used to frequent, who said her mother was a chronic worrywart, and used to go to the doctor, with every complaint in the book, and a demand for every pharma, that was advertised on TV. She used the doctors office for her reason to get out of the house. Well, anyway, one day she showed up at the doctors office with the complaint of enlarged prostrate and wanted to know if she had prostate cancer. The doctor was used to her and her continual self diagnosis of disease, so he said that he would perform and exam and find out just what was wrong with her prostrate gland. He got out the biggest pair of forceps he had, and put on the gloves and told her she would need to bend over the exam table and he would insert the forceps you know where. She blanched, and said that actually she had been feeling better in that area and it probably wasn't necessary after all. She quietly left the office after thanking him, and for some strange reason was never seen by that doctor again. The message here was, be careful what you think you have. Let the doctor diagnose the problem before you start suggesting solutions.

That's funny! John, thanks for my laugh for today!

John, I love your sense of humor! 'Sides, none of us gals will ever have to worry about prostate cancer -- just as you guys will never have to worry about uterine cancer - beer or no beer! ME-Judy

But we ARE next door neighbours! It's just that the doors are a long way apart... :D

Or wheat. Don't forget the wheat beers... ;)

Myself I like a good dark lager... The thicker and darker the better. But then I like our dark English and Scots ales as well.

Howdy!

I'm w/ the beer as a prevention technique; what is it that Lebkuchen prevents, besides depression? Gnomelessness?
