These particular findings, published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), were made by a team of Israeli researchers.
Writing in the BMJ, they said: “Pale lager beer causes structural changes in the blood clotting protein fibrinogen that can significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks.”
Doctor Shela Gorinstein, a senior researcher at the department of medical chemistry, explained at the time that it was the hops in lager beer that were largely responsible for this effect.
Hops are present in the majority of beer, but their grassy, floral and lemony taste is more prevalent in certain kinds.
The latest research highlights that beer also contains polyphenols and other microorganisms derived from the fermentation process.
