This is from 2003!!! The BBC reported then that the old advertising slogan "Guinness is Good for You" may be true after all. A pint of the black stuff a day may work as well as a low dose aspirin to prevent heart clots that raise the risk of heart attacks. Drinking lager does not yield the same benefits. Guinness were told to stop using the slogan decades ago - and the firm still makes no health claims for the drink. The Wisconsin team who tested the health-giving properties of stout against lager, gave it to dogs who had narrowed arteries similar to those in heart disease. They found that those given the Guinness had reduced clotting activity in their blood, but not those given lager. Original article here. I wonder if Guinness will pay me for blogging about this? Heck, a night of Guinness will do just fine.
