Scientists from Germany representing the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, published on the website of the University is evidence that they had discovered the healing effect of the two components of the beer connection xanthohumol and ISO-alpha bitter acids. These substances may be useful in the treatment of liver cancer, scientists believe.
In particular, xanthohumol has the property to prevent the fatty liver that can develop because of excessive calorie food, as well as to protect the body from scarring and reproduction of cancer cells, found German researchers. As for the second component of beer ISO-alpha-bitter acids, the clinicians stated: these substances not only have a positive effect on glucose metabolism and fat metabolism in the human body, but also prevents the development of liver damage.
They also found that both ingredients of beer have a marked healing effect in tandem – interacting side, suppress inflammation in body tissues. But the researchers focused on the fact that we are talking exclusively about non-alcoholic version of beer.
The authors admit that using these compounds isolated from the beer, you can effectively fight cancer, obesity and other diseases. Although technological solution for the realization of this possibility have yet to find – will need new research.
Recall that according to the Foundation of heart disease in the UK, without harm to health can eat a certain amount of alcohol. So according to experts of the organization are 100 grams of pure alcohol per week. In terms of beer (the strength of 4%) is five pints of the foamy drink.
