It's never ending praise for the pomegranate in preventing disease, especially prostate cancer, but if you couldn't drink another glass of pomegranate juice, then you might be okay grabbing a beer instead.
According to researchers at Oregon State University, a primary compound found in hops, xanthohumol, inhibits a certain protein in cells along the surface of the prostate gland. That protein acts as a switch that turns on a variety of human malignancies, including prostate cancer. The compound xanthohumol belongs to a group of plant compounds called flavonoids, which have been reported for a wide variety of benefits in cancer prevention and overall disease prevention.
Since it will take 17 beers for the xanthohumol to have a noticeable effect, you might want to wait for researchers to come up with a supplement.
