Another reason for binge drinkin

A main ingredient in beer may help prevent prostate cancer and enlargement, according to a new study. But researchers say don't rush out to stock the refrigerator because the ingredient is present in such small amounts that a person would have to drink more than 17 beers to benefit.
Oregon State University researchers say the compound xanthohumol, found in hops, inhibits a specific protein in the cells along the surface of the prostate gland.
The protein acts like a signal switch that turns on a variety of animal and human cancers, including prostate cancer. (AP)

Our newspaperman told me he had "prostrate." I don't think beer can help him.

Another reason for binge drinkin is chemical imbalance with the body, thus the body being in charge say's "GIVE ME MORE". Once you decide to feed your body with it"s demand with more nutrious diet and not the drinking, you will find you have a lot more time on your hands. If you are like myself or want to be a present day none drinker, I also love to read and be prosperous. I highly recommend doing some site seeing to my blog.
