Five oclock happy hour may soon be part of your daily health regimen, thanks to scientists at Rice University. They developed a BioBeer that could actually extend your life, Discovery News reports. The yeast used to brew the beer is genetically modified to include resveratrol, the chemical in red wine that is believed to protect against a host of age-related conditions including Alzheimers, some cancers, and diabetes.The replica Concord watch BioBeer was presented at an International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) conference this past weekend at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The competition featured genetically modified inventions from around the world.
Dont hold your breath for this healthy beer, since scientists have to figure out a way to filter the beer without removing the yeast and the medical benefits. It will also probably be years before its commercially available. The FDA needs to approve all genetically modified foods.On other fronts, the FDA has SRT1720, a synthetic version replica Corum watch which is 1,000 times as powerful as the naturally occurring resveratrol, on its lists of items for approval (it might combat diabetes by regulating levels of cholesterol and insulin and limiting weight gain).As for the students involved in BioBeer, they said there was only one drawback: most of them werent old enough to legally enjoy their creation.--Melanie Lidman
