my favourite paper of our group of 2019

I asked the gang over coffee which one of our 2019 papers you like most...
We can not agree! Variety of opinions is the spice in any group/team etc :)

I chose this one.

The in vitro antithrombotic properties of ale, lager, and stout beers

A paper that shows moderate drinking is good for you. A paper about Ireland, a paper about brewing.

Enjoy your Guinness/ale/lager over Christmas !
Any fermented food and drink is nutritious!

But! Remember!

Ancient Greeks loved harmony and believed that METRON ARISTON, moderation in all things is the code to live by. 

Beer and Inflammation

is beer any good for us?
is darker beer any better?

Xanthohumol and 8-prenylnaringenin ameliorate diabetic-related metabolic dysfunctions in mice

Xanthohumol improves dysfunctional glucose and lipid metabolism in diet-induced obese C57BL/6J mice

In vivo and in vitro studies of the role of lyophilised blond Lager beer and some bioactive components in the modulation of degenerative processes

The extract from hop cones (Humulus lupulus) as a modulator of oxidative stress in blood platelets

 

 

 

Let's talk about fermented drinks

This is an old paper that I am using in teaching...
It offers a rather "fundamental" (with limitations) view on assessing nutritional values.
The paper compares beer, milk, orange juice and a sports drink.

Further recent research has shown that low-to-moderate alcohol consumption (particularly of wine or beer) is associated with a decrease in cardiovascular events and mortality, compared with abstention.

So, we need to remember that 1-2 units of red wine or dark beer per day are actually beneficial!
