Beer Benefits?

Dr. Jennifer Ashton spoke to CBS Jeff Glor about the possible health benefits of beer.

A 2005 Japanese study found that low alcohol beer may possess strong anti-cancer properties.

Another study found nonalcoholic beer to mirror the cardiovascular benefits associated with moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages.

However, much research suggests that the primary health benefit from alcoholic beverages comes from the alcohol they contain.

I don’t drink alcohol myself. Thanks for the tips, but no thanks on the beer.
