[thechat] Guiness officially good for you

[Bob Davis]

Doctors with all their fancy science confirm it -

In brief - fewer carbs, fewer calories, less alcohol, loaded with  
flavonoids (a real word, I swear - they help keep LDL cholesterol from  
clogging arteries), has more vitamin B than lighter beers (which would  
explain why it doesn't give me hangovers), and is a good source of  
silicon (no, that's silicone - we're talking about the mineral).

So drink up!  Those draft bottles we get here in the US are pretty good  
- not close to the wonder that is a freshly drawn Guiness in the UK,  
but still pretty good.

I wonder if there are other beers have the same qualities? Belhaven  
maybe?
