How about the Guinness diet?

[IronLionZion]

Where you fill up on Guinness and don't have much room to pig out on food. MMMM....sounds like a winner!
A liberal alternative to the Dale Earnhardt Jr. diet (eat what tastes good in chicken capital USA)



"Guinness, in fact, is lower in alcohol, calories and carbohydrates than Samuel Adams, Budweiser, Heineken and almost every other major-brand beer not classified as light or low-carb. It has fewer calories and carbohydrates than low-fat milk and orange juice, too."
"In the study, Guinness proved twice as effective as Heineken at preventing blood clots. Guinness is loaded with flavonoids, anti-oxidants that give the dark color to many fruits and vegetables.

These anti-oxidants are better than vitamins C and E, the study found, at keeping bad LDL cholesterol from clogging arteries. Blocked arteries also contribute to erectile dysfunction, as does overindulgence in alcohol.

Guinness has a higher concentration than lighter beers of vitamin B, which lowers levels of homocysteine, linked to clogged arteries. And researchers have found that anti-oxidants from the moderate use of stout might reduce the incidence of cataracts by as much as 50%."



Guinness is good for you!

1. Well I am half Irish!

And I had no idea Guiness had all these positives! They should write this on the keg/can of beer they make!

A Guiness a day keeps the doctor away!

7. awesome isn't it?

Hospitals in Ireland still give Guinness to patients after surgery when they need Iron. They used to give it to pregnant women too.

ah, I'm not Irish but I love Guinness! And everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's and perheps when drinking Guinness too.
