The natural compound xanthohumol blocks the effects of the male hormone testosterone, therefore aiding in the prevention of prostate cancer.
Xanthohumol is a compound found in hops. Hops is an ingredient found in beer.

I grew up on a farm and worked my way through college slinging pizzas, walking dogs, and assisting with autopsies. I received my M.D. from the University of Chicago-Pritzker School of Medicine and completed my residency in internal medicine at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital. I then took a faculty position at the newly-merged Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, but after two and a half years of commuting in Big Dig traffic with a screaming toddler in tow, I thought I'd try moving back to my home state of South Dakota. I am currently Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program at the Sanford School of Medicine of the University of South Dakota.

So if I drink enough wine, I might live forever, and if I drink enough beer, I won’t get prostate cancer. Time for my morning martini.
And don’t neglect marijuana’s (possible) affect on new brain cell growth.
Now we need the medical community to come up with the many benefits of tobacco, steak and guns and the foresightedness of Woddy Allen’s Sleeper will be more-fully realized.
