is wine and beer good for cancer patients
Headstart for health: Beer can protect against prostate cancer. It might be your preference to crack open a bottle of red wine at the end of a hard day but you may be better off pouring a pint. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Centre in Heidelberg have discovered that beer contains a powerful molecule that helps protect against breast and prostate cancers. Found in hops, the substance called xanthohumol blocks the excessive action of testosterone and oestrogen.
In which case, drinking a glass of wine a day seems harmless, even beneficial. But a team of researchers from Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health and Brigham and Womenâs Hospital in Boston have busted our wine-infused bubble, finding that just that one glass can increase the risk of breast cancer.
