A new study from Oregon State University has found out that beer
can help you in losing weight. This is through xanthohumol, a flavor found in
beer, that helped mice lose weight and lower their bad cholesterol levels.
48 mice had been split into two groups then fed high fat diets but
one group was given 30-60 milligrams of xanthohumol per kg of body weight every
day for around 12 weeks. The other group was not given this item.
The mice which were given the xanthohumol had their bad
cholesterol levels go down by around 80% while their weight gain was 22% less
than the other group. This proves that xanthohumol can actually prevent you
from gaining too much weight.
Wait don’t celebrate yet….
If you weigh 10 stone/63kg/140lb you will need to drink around
3500 pints of beer (1988 litres) within the 24 hours to get the human
equivalent of the amount the mice were given.
Drug companies are already researching on how to bring a pure version
of xanthohumol so as to create a weight loss pill.
