Finally someone has confirmed that drinking Guinness is good for you, even the pasteurised dead version, now lets see them repeat it for RA. Maybe we'd see a few more real stouts available.
Favourite part: "Drinking lager does not yield the same benefits"
top stuff. However, there was this quote: "[spokesman for Brewing Research International] said: "We already know that most of the clotting effects are due to the alcohol itself, rather than any other ingredients. "
but.. if this is the case, they were either using really weak lager, or Guinness really does have significant health benefits not due to alcohol content.

I think the real message has nothing to do with the benefits of moderate alcohol consumption. Its that those lovely *flavours* we enjoy so much come with a small health benefit *as well*.
The flavourless stuff doesn't ;)
In article , Paul Shirley writes
I noticed the BBC story included an old advert that depicted seven pints of Guinness, which is probably slightly more than 'is good for you'.
