From one of the nation's beer capitals comes word that dark beer may be

They inhibit platelet activity in the blood, making it less likely to
clog arteries.
The researcher-- John Folts-- is the same man who found that aspirin
prevents heart attacks and red wine curbs heart disease.
Folts suggests you can get the same benefits from grape juice, black tea,
