Drinking beer builds strong bones
• Mar 23rd, 2009 • Category: Beer News
In the supermarket the other day, we grabbed some calcium-fortified orange juice. Sure it tastes a bit worse and leaves a strange residue on your glass, but that’s a small price to pay for strong bones, right?
Well, according to a new study, we should have skipped the OJ completely and headed to the beer aisle. Dr. Katherine Tucker of Tufts University in Boston says that drinking a beer or two a night builds bone mineral density better than anything else. It’s “larger than what we see for any single nutrient, even for calcium,” she said. “It’s not ambiguous. It’s very clear.”
That’s news we can use.
