Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach

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.

I'll go with the 17 beers. I hope that's 17 beers per day right? The gov't should provide beer stamps to all males over the age of 40 to promote prostate health, it's shy of 2 cases every three days, so we'll need some help purchasing that. Perhaps a gov't subsidized pony keg system would be more economical.
