Right everyone, down the pub now. Drinks are on us!
Chinese scientists have made a potentially-revolutionary discovery that could actually make beer healthy for us.
Imagine the Government promoting your ‘five a day’, but with delicious lager. That dream could soon be a reality.
These Far Eastern geniuses have found that a subtle manipulation found in animals could get the body turning alcohol into glycogen instead of fat.
Bascially, when you booze your body stops burning fat while your liver tries to deal with the bi-products of alcohol.
It also stores fat from all those dirty calories from your 10 pints of ale (and probably a kebab on the way home).
But switching this process to turning alcohol into glycogen instead of fat could bring real heath benefits.
They’ve only tested it on rats so far, but the research, published in the Journal of Lipids, could spell the end for the dreaded beer belly.
If there’s human tests on this science, where do we apply?
