Having a brewski just might be good for your brain

A new study suggests that an element in beer may be good for your brain.

Scientists discovered that xanthohumol, an ingredient in beer, seems to help cognitive function in young mice.

Xanthohumol did not have the same impact on older mice, according to the study, whose results were published this month in Behavioral Brain Research.

The scientists noted that the dose they gave the mice was quite high. A human would have to drink 2,000 liters of beer a day to equal what the mice consumed.
