Guinness is Good For You

That was one of the old advertising slogans favoured by Guinness in the past and now it seems it may well be.

It appears to reduce clotting activity which is a way to lessen the chance of heart attacks and can be just as effective as taking a daily aspirin.

Research shows it is the “antioxidant compounds” found in Guinness (and in certain fruits and vegetables) that can make the stout prevent heart clots, but this is not the case for lager.

Great- I am a huge fan of the Black Stuff but all we get to drink nowadays is lager...
