Craft Beer and Health

via Craft Beer and Your Health.

Before I continue I admit I’m thinking about beer and it’s only 10:00 am. But for years I’ve used my Saturday mornings to catch up on medical and health news. Last night The Boss went to The Mall after work so dinner got pushed back. By the time The Boss got home it was like “why cook?” so we went out to an Italian place for a quick meal. I managed to eat an entire half tray sized piece of lasagna and I started thinking this can’t be good.

I woke up Saturday morning and expected the worst when I approached the bathroom scale. Friday I was 190. This morning I was…190! There was no damage from the half tray of lasagna.

Must be the craft beer.

So with that thought in mind I wondered if craft beer (in absolute moderation of course) could possibly be healthy. Click through on the link (yeah, I know the research is self-serving) but I found the article enlightening and there are plenty of legit reference links.

Tonight our tiny town in Oklahoma is having its very first foodie/craft beer/food truck/pop up store/live music street festival. Roughtail brewery Roughtail Brewing Company | Home. will be serving two of their near beers (3.2 ABV).

I am excited.

Common Cold May Give Children Immunity against COVID-19 — Wellness Secrets of a SuperAger

During the pandemic, medical doctors and researchers noticed that children and adolescents infected with COVID-19 became less ill than adults.

Can’t Get Adderall? (plus a bonus Scary Chart)

This shortage is complicated, and has several causes. Teva Pharmaceuticals, for instance, which is the largest producer, had problems with its factory.
