New York, February 8 -- Drink beer for strong bones! New research suggests that a regular pint of the beverage may help strengthen bones, thus cutting down the chances of developing bone thinning diseases such as osteoporosis.
Findings of the study suggest that beer contains dietary silicon, a key supplement that helps in enhancing bone mineral density.
Details of the study
To come up with this finding, researchers from the University of California tested 100 commercial beers, and their production methods.
Silicon is present in soluble form in beer, orthosilicic acid (OSA), which makes it easier to be absorbed by the body.
