Cancer seems to be the most insurmountable predicament of today’s times, as it was about 10 years back. Although there is no perfect cure for the disease, there are certain agents that help reduce the risk of Cancer or impede it’s effects. Recently, a group of young researchers consisting of six under grads from Rice University is working on genetically budding in resveratrol, which is a antibiotic that is a natural component of Grapes, into the ingredients that make up Beer. The Cancer-fighting and anti-ageing properties that Red Wine gets are through the presence of Resveratrol. The team believes that producing Beer with higher and more consistent concentrations of Resveratrol will create a frosty adult beverage with even better preventive powers. Fighting Cancer is a good thing, but it’s time they start looking into preventive agents for other day-to-day medical problems that people complain of.
