Cheers for beer

Cheers for beer!

You’ve probably heard that red wine is high in antioxidant, compounds that may help protect against heart disease and cancer.

But if you like beer better, here’s good news: The brew offers about the same benefits as wine, according to new research.

Just don’t go overboard - you get optimal antioxidant payoff from one serving a day. For beer, that’s 355ml (an average beer glass); a serving of wine is 149ml. But remember, having three or more drinks daily actually increases the risk of serious disease.
