CORVALLIS, Ore. — A main ingredient in beer may help prevent prostate cancer and enlargement, according to a new study.
Oregon State University researchers say the compound xanthohumol, found in hops, inhibits a specific protein in the cells along the surface of the prostate gland.
The protein acts like a signal switch that turns on a variety of animal and human cancers, including prostate cancer.
Why couldn't I have been in studies like this when I was an undergraduate? I would have been quite happy to take part in this study.
Beer helps prevent prostate cancer. Wine helps prevent high blood pressure.
