New Research: "Beer May Boost Brain Power"

[adiochiro3]

"A compound found [only] in hops is capable of improving memory and thought patterns in mice..." says the new study out of Oregon State.

Nice to have affirmation of what we already suspected! :rockin: I think the only problem is that alcohol covers up this effect so people don't notice our imporved cognitive function as easily...

ave been saynn tis for yers. thast wy idrik a thirty pck a day. relly helps wit teh ol thinkn brain. meh cogntve fuction has imprved dramatical. dunno why nooone beliefs me when I tel em.

The problem is, you'd have to drink 2,000L or 5,636 bottles to gain any effect, & older ones showed no improvement. Doesn't seem like much so far. Although home brewing & consumption have led me to write books...

Hmmm, 5000 bottles? I can do that.
"You know you're a homebrewer when..."

And this is a problem how?

"Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
