A Slimming Beer ?

From the Sunday Telegragh 10th June 2012

Forget the bulging beer gut - drinking the amber ale can actually make you stronger, slimmer and healthier.

It even has the ability to improve muscular performance and prevent diabetes, according to a new study.

Researches have found beer may contain a vitamin which can fight obesity and improve muscle strength.

The "miracle molecule", which has been found in milk, is also believed to be in beer and could lengthen lifespan.

The catch is, the molecule called nicotinamidemriboside, is extremely small, difficult to find and expensive to synthesise.

Head of Ecole Polytechnique Federale in Switzerland Johan Auwerx said mice on a high-fat diet that were fed NR gained significantly less weight.
