Two interesting stories on Yahoo! news...

Researchers: Hops in Beer May Be Healthy - Yahoo! News
Nursing Home keeps spirits up with own pub

The first story says that hops contains compounds that may slow or prevent cancer. It doesn't say that drinking beer prevents cancer. However, I think most of us understand intuitively that drinking a good hoppy beer can only make us healthier.

The second story says that a nursing home with a bar has happier residents and more visitors. I don't find that shocking at all. It's definately a feature I will be looking for in a nursing home when I grow old.

Cheers!
