>>Hops Could Help FIght Alzheimer's
(Undated) -- Chemicals extracted from hop flowers could possibly help in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. The plant, which is a key component of beer, can inhibit protein clumping that's linked to the disease. While drinking beer may not help prevent Alzheimer's, experts believe the compounds from hops could eventually be put to work by the pharmaceutical industry. The research is published in the journal ACS Chemical Neuroscience.
