Guiness is my beer of choice and the stories I've heard about it being the healthiest option definitely is the major reason I drink it.

H. Benson, conducted market research during the 1920s to find out what people liked about a well known stout and people responded that they felt good when they drank the stout, the slogan "Guinness is Good for You" was born. It is still used in some countries (notably in Africa) that do not regulate advertising claims as zealously as the U.K. and North America. </P><P> We could consider this stout a proxy for beer — what's good in stout is good in other beers, and what's not so good isn't. That said, not all beers are alike. Some contain more calories, some more carbohydrates, etc. </P><P>Meanwhile, the medical profession faces its own dilemma: Is it ethical to advocate drinking alcoholic drinks; Or is it ethical not to when the benefits are well established? </P><P> With that in mind, we've tried to stick with the facts.<BR /></P><P> </P></TD></tr></table></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/08127EAA-265B-4F81-A01F-0CB47FDA2BD2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
