The Goodness of Beer

Beer Is Healthier Than Wine

It is also the richest source of silicon; silicon in the diet may help in countering osteoporosis—learn more. Wine contains more antioxidants than beer, but, do they actually get into the body and reach the parts where they are needed? There are doubts about that; but, it has been shown that the antioxidant ferulic acid is taken up from beer into the body (more efficiently than from the tomato).
