Here is part of it: "A University of Wisconsin study last fall found that moderate consumption of Guinness worked like aspirin to prevent clots that increase the risk of heart attacks.

In the study, Guinness proved twice as effective as Heineken at preventing blood clots. Guinness is loaded with flavonoids, antioxidants that give the dark color to many fruits and vegetables.

These antioxidants are better than vitamins C and E, the study found, at keeping bad LDL cholesterol from clogging arteries. Blocked arteries also contributes to erectile dysfunction, as does overindulgence in alcohol.

Guinness has a higher concentration than lighter beers of vitamin B, which lowers levels of homocysteine, linked to clogged arteries. And researchers have found that antioxidants from the moderate use of stout might reduce the incidence of cataracts by as much as 50 percent."

Happy St. Patrick's day!

Jim,
I survived St. Patrick's Day without a heart attack and now I know the reason. To bad the Salmon Slalom got cancelled. I went down and paddled the Tohickon Creek release instead. Nice creek, alot of interesting III's with many different routes through em. See you at the Punchbrook and I'll be sure to bring Guinness.
