A main ingredient in beer may help prevent prostate cancer, according to a recent report. This ingredient is called Xanthohumol. Cancer typically results from uncontrolled cell reproduction and growth. Xanthohumol, which belongs to a group of plant compounds called flavonoids, can trigger the so-called programmed cancer cell death and therefore can controls cancer growth.Xanthohumol is present in such small amounts in most of beers that a person would have to drink more than 17 beers to benefit. The good news is that scientists in Germany have already developed a beer that contains 10 times the amount of xanthohumol as traditional brews.
