A miracle molecule in beer. And I learned at the Daily Telegraph a bunch of Assuie scientists have shown chovolate is better for us than was previously thought. Great.
I hope someone is doing serious research into the health giving properties of bacon sandwiches, red meat and whisky.

Oops, I forgot to put in the link that would have gladdened the heart of every right thinking person and reduced Nanny to incoherent rage. Find the miracle molecule research  news HERE

We should always be sceptical of such claims of course, but I'm willing to help these people with their research in any way I can.
