Beer in moderation could be good for you
September 15, 2004

TORONTO --Beer, a health food? That's what some Canadian researchers
report. A study from the University of Western Ontario finds a brew
could be good for you. The researchers say beer has antioxidant
boosters that could help fight cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

But the key is moderation. The researchers found three beers would
have the opposite effect.

The study was funded by beermakers Guinness and Labatt. But the
university says the financial support had no influence on the
outcome.
