Fight cancer with beer

Wired reports:

Researchers at Rice University are concocting a genetically engineered beer that could fight heart disease and cancers, ComputerWorld reports. The goal is to create a brew containing resveratrol, the same disease-fighting, natural chemical found in red wine.

The scientists are basing the premise of their project on research conducted by University of Wisconsin in June. In that study, researchers found that adding small doses of resveratrol to the diets of middle-aged mice signficantly extended their lifespans and kept their hearts healthy.
