Beer is good for you

Great news! Beer helps build strong bones!  It turns out craft made beers (e.g. locally brewed beer, Sam Adams, etc.) are high in silicon, which is essential for strong bones.  And the silicon in beer is easily absorbed by the body.  The ingredients used in the brewing make all the difference.  Cheap beer made with rice and corn has very low levels of silicon, while beers made with hops and barley can have as much as 9 times more bone-building silicon.  So enjoy a beer and build up your bones.
