Students at Rice University are working on BioBeer a genetically modified beer that could fight heart disease, cancer and Type 2 diabetes.
The students created genetically modified yeast that will produce Resveratrol. If Resveratrol sounds familar that’s because it’s the naturally occuring compound found in red wine that gives red wine all those health benefits people are always talking about.
The students don’t actually have a drinkable beer yet but they expect to have one by the end of the semester.
I can’t wait for this shit to come to market. The health benefits are a nice bonus but really I just want to be able to say, “Fuck no I didn’t drink too much last night. I might have fought too much cancer but I sure as shit didn’t drink to much.”
Thanks to Rob for the tip!
