Many kinds of beer, it turns out, may be good for bones and connective tissue, but India Pale Ales appear to be the most solid bet. So reports the Los Angeles Times, citing research conducted at UC Davis that measured the dietary silicon content (believed to be important for the growth of bone and connective tissue) of 100 types of beers. And now the findings: India pale ales, which have large amounts of hops and less heat
treatment during brewing, had the highest average silicon levels and
pale ales were close behind. Non-alcoholic beers had the lowest levels
of all.
Finally, a scientific reason to support my favourite ales… Drink them with vigour & strength!
Yet ANOTHER reason for not drinking cheap beer!
