Anti-hot flash beerPosted Apr 23rd 2006 8:08AM by Nicole WestonFiled under: Beer, Science, On the Blogs, Europe Gadling reports that some Czech food scientists
are developing a
beer that will alleviate the symptoms associated with menopause, including hot flashes and difficulty sleeping. The
beer contains an unusually high level of phytoestrogen, a form of estrogen that is found in plants and the hops and
barley malt use in some types of beer. A gynecologist who ran a small trial of the beer on 20 patients reported that
"volunteers who drank three deciliters nightly for two months reported fewer menopausal symptoms." Three
deciliters is about 10 ounces of beer. The brew is also low-calorie and low alcohol, but there is no word yet as to
when it might be commercially available.
