Stouts for Broads
Scientists at the Czech Republic’s Research Institute for Brewing and Malting have created a non-alcoholic beer with 10 times the normal amount of the hormone phytoestrogen that they hope will help menopausal women keep their hormone levels up, thus easing the transition into post-reproductive life. The new drink is considered a breakthrough in the thriving field of “functional beer,” a research area that ought to be especially near-and-dear to Czechs, whose national per capita beer consumption is the world’s largest.

ok, a great idea to medicate via beer but WHY would u make it non-alcoholic??????? i also heard something on the news recently about a ‘functional beer’ (aren’t they all functional if your intent is to get drunk?) that was for guys but i forget what the medical side of it was.
