A group of researchers are developing a beer that could reduce the risk of cancer.
An ambitious team consisting of six undergraduates from Rice University is working on genetically grafting resveratrol — an antibiotic that is a natural component of grapes — into the ingredients that make up beer.
Previous experimentation has suggested resveratrol gives red wine anti-aging and cancer-fighting qualities. But the Rice students believe that designing beer with higher and more consistent concentrations of the chemical will create a frosty adult beverage with even better preventative powers.my brother is going to rice next year! woo. maybe he’ll help them out.

This would rock. I prefer beer to red wine any day!
