main ingredient in beer may help prevent prostate cancer and enlargement, according to a new study. But researchers say don't rush out to stock the refrigerator because the ingredient is present in such small amounts that a person would have to drink more than 17 beers to benefit.  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.

17 average American beers? I'm pretty sure that 17 12oz cans of Bud have had less hops brewed into them than one or two pints of the popular superhoppy Imperial India Pale Ales out there. Get a 6-pack of Stone Brewing Company's Arrogant Bastard, or better yet, Wild Bill's Alimony Ale... either of them will get you your RDA of hops in short order.

Gentlemen, start your casseroles! and, now, I guess, wash it down with (several) beers!
