SpeedRacer 1 #1 December 31, 2002 GERMANS WORK ON CANCER-FIGHTING BEER German scientists say they have developed a beer that could help fight cancer. It contains high levels of a potent antioxidant called xanthohumol, which is found in hops and has been shown in previous laboratory studies to stem the growth of tumor cells. Achim Zuercher, a scientist involved in the study, said an as-yet-unnamed brewery in Bavaria would sell the beer early in 2003. He also expects it to be sold outside Germany. Tests on the effects of xanthohumol have only been carried out the laboratory, he said, but were promising. He stressed it would not be possible to say conclusively that the beer will fight cancer in humans until tests are completed several years down the line.
