New Post (212) : Say goodbye to Osteoporosis
Beer is a rich source of Silicon.
Beer MAY help prevent Osteoporosis. (a disease of the skeletal system characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue.)
A new study SUGGESTS that beer is a significant source of “dietary” silicon, a key ingredient for increasing bone mineral density.
Wheat contains less silicon than barley because it is the husk of the barley that is rich in this element. While most of the silicon remains in the husk during brewing, significant quantities of silicon nonetheless are extracted into wort and much of this survives into beer.
A gem of a marketing idea - I’d say. A most compelling benefit sell.
Super. Just the excuse I needed to tank up. I am off to the pub……… [It certainly beats chewing on silicon chips. ha ha ha]
