Beer in Health and Disease Prevention

About this book

Beer in Health and Disease Prevention is the single comprehensive volume needed to understand beer and beer-related science. Presenting both the concerns and problems of beer consumption as well as the emerging evidence of benefit, this book offers a balanced view of today's findings and the potential of tomorrow's research. Just as wine in moderation has been proposed to promote health, research is showing that beer – and the ingredients in beer – can have similar impact on improving health, and in some instances preventing disease. This book addresses the impact of beer and beer ingredients on cancers, cardiovascular disease, anti-oxidant benefits, and other health related concerns. It offers a holistic view from beer brewing to the isolation of beer-related compounds. It contains self-contained chapters written by subject matter experts. This book is recommended for scientists and researchers from a variety of fields and industries from beer production to health-care professionals. - Winner of the 2009 Best Drinks and Health Book in the World - Gourmand World Cookbook Awards - The most comprehensive coverage of the broad range of topics related to the role of beer and beer ingredients in health - Addresses the impact of beer and beer ingredients on cancers, cardiovascular disease, anti-oxidant benefits, and other health related concerns - Presents a holistic view from beer brewing to the isolation of beer-related compounds - Appropriate for scientists and researchers from a variety of fields and industries from beer production to health-care professionals - Consistent organization of each chapter provides easy-access to key points and summaries - Self-contained chapters written by subject matter experts
