Barcelona - The moderate consumption of beer helps protect the liver from cirrhosis and other diseases, a Spanish researcher said on Friday.
Susana Martinez from the University of Leon spoke at a conference of nutrition experts in Barcelona.
Beer contains anti-oxidants called flavonoids, which help to protect the liver from inflammatory processes, Martinez explained.
A moderate consumption amounted to 33 centilitres for women and twice that amount for men daily, she advised. - Sapa-dpa
