When is someone going to write the next big diet
book: beer, red wine, and dark chocolate?
I hope the book mentions the cyanide in flaxseed
and xenoestrogens in soybean products!

Beer increases plasma antioxidant capacity in humans.

The positive association of a moderate intake of alcoholic
beverages with a low risk for cardiovascular disease, in
addition to ethanol itself, may be linked to their
polyphenol content. This article describes the effect of
acute ingestion of beer, dealcoholized beer, and ethanol
(4.5% v/v) on the total plasma antioxidant status of
subjects, and the change in the high performance liquid
chromatography profile of some selected phenolic acids
(caffeic, sinapic, syringic, and vanillic acids) in 14
healthy humans. Plasma was collected at various times:
before (T0), 1 hour after (T1), and 2 hours after (T2)
drinking. The study is part of a larger research planned
to identify both the impact of brewing on minor
components potentially present in beer and their
metabolic fate in humans. Beer was able to induce a
significant (P < 0.05) increase in plasma antioxidant
capacity at T1 (mean +/- SD: T0 1,353 +/- 320 microM;
T1 1,578 +/- 282 microM), returning close to basal
values at T2. All phenolic acids measured in plasma
tended to increase after beer intake (20% at T1, 40%
at T2). Syringic and sinapic acid reached statistical
significance (P < 0.05 by one-way analysis of
variance-Fisher's test) at T1 and T2, respectively.
Plasma metabolic parameters (glucose, total
cholesterol, triglycerides, and uric acid) and plasma
antioxidants (alpha-tocopherol and glutathione)
remained unchanged. Ethanol removal impaired the
absorption of phenolic acids, which did not change
over the time of the experiment, accounting for the
low (and not statistically significant) increase in
plasma antioxidant capacity after dealcoholized beer
drinking. Ethanol alone did not affect plasma
antioxidant capacity or any of the antioxidant and
metabolic parameters measured. |

Xenoestrogen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xenoestrogens are novel, man-made compounds, that differ from
archiestrogens (ancient, naturally occurring) produced by living
organisms. They mimic the effect of other estrogens. Their potential
ecological and human health impact is under study.[1]
Xenoestrogens are part of a heterogeneous group of chemicals that are
hormonally active agents. They differ from phytoestrogens (estrogenic
substances from plants), mycoestrogens (estrogenic substances from
fungi, which can be considered as one type of mycotoxin), and
pharmacological estrogens (estrogenic action is intended) in that they
are man-made. Estrogens from a variety of sources may have a
cumulative effect upon living organisms, and xenoestrogens may be part
of a larger picture of a process of estrogenization of the
environment. Xenoestrogens have only been recently (less than 70
years) introduced into the environment, as produced by industrial,
agricultural, and chemical companies, but similar compounds have
existed in the environment since the beginnings of life itself. (see
phytoestrogens)

Wikipedia has it wrong, in this case. The prefix xeno-
merely means "foreign" or where it would not normally
be found. For example, quinine would be a xenobiotic
in the human body, because the human body does not
normally contain quinine. However, the commercial
source of quinine is not synthetic -- it is the bark
of the cinchona tree.
See, for example, this contradictory Wikipedia entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenobiotic
If there were a term for a man-made estrogen, it would
be "synestrogen". |

Numerous concord grape vineyards are being torn out
and hop yards are replacing them. Unless, there is
a big bump up in beer intake the hops price is going
to go bust. The Chinese upper class had better start drinking beer
while eating their beef burger when driving their SUVs out to the
villages
or the hops price will go bust in a couple of years.
I've never quite trusted beer. It always seemed like the drink
designed for control of the masses. The perfect drink for
the New China with the grand old party still in control.
Or so the story goes. |
