Guinness good for you - official

BBC NEWS | Health | Guinness good for you - official

The old advertising slogan "Guinness is Good for You" may be true after all, according to researchers.
A pint of the black stuff a day may work as well as an aspirin to prevent heart clots that raise the risk of heart attacks.

Drinking lager does not yield the same benefits, experts from University of Wisconsin told a conference in the US.

The researchers told a meeting of the American Heart Association in Orlando, Florida, that the most benefit they saw was from 24 fluid ounces of Guinness - just over a pint - taken at mealtimes.

 

I knew it - going straight to my Dr. for a prescription, do you think my medical aid scheme will pay?

 

So that means....I'm good for like, 209 years of healthy heart.

 

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! best drink of the day,cant beat that first pint though,especially now as its purely medicinal.....

 

cheers...mines always a guiness...its the irish chaser that does me the damage...

 

I love Guinness, European Guinness even more.

 

I didn't need another good reason (not excuse) to down a Guinness or two, but thanks for the "head's up"!

I knew it all along!!!!!!.......people will listen to me now, i tell ya! burp......drunkn talk

 

what the heck is that....................i think ya mean Irish Guinness

 

sweet...

 

I have drank Guinness in Hong Kong and Germany and both were better than the Guinness here in the states.

I have drank more Guinness than you have dribbled down your chin so get off my a**..........LOL

 

Actually I particularly like the Special Export Stout sold in Germany and the Low Countries, it's Guinness but beefier!

 

Guinness on tap is probably the best I believe. It has to be. That's the kind I prefer anyway. Only one pint they say. Must be some sort of miracle drug that requires applications in such small amounts. The over-the-counter thing is quite appropriate for us regular folks. No need to go look for a dealer, just stroll into the local watering hole. Four or five pints should be better, or maybe more. I'll conduct my own study this evening and report back with my findings when I am able....

 

cause its good fer yer... Used to get a can thrown at me on wards by forces nurses... Doc told em i was to have 1 every night.. Thats a prescription in my book...

 

It has been recommended taking half a aspirin a day to thin out the blood which will help in preventing heart clots. As for Guinness itself its a great drink full of iron.

 

I don't see how something soo good for you can make you feel so bad all the next day....

Oh well, no pain, no gain....

 

Now what about washing that half an aspirin down with a pint of Guinness?

 

Ive just had 3 full asprin...so going by jugs' reckoning...thats 6 pints of guinness...i love america.. Cheers...

 

Glad I could be of help
