BioBeer: Anti-Cancer beer being created by college students

Monday, October 20th, 2008

A group of Rice University college students say they are creating a beer to reduce cancer and heart disease. Deemed “BioBeer,” this genius brew will have resveratrol, a substance in grapes shown to reduce cancer and heart disease.

Using genetic engineering, the students plan on developing a genetically modified strain of yeast that will ferment beer and produce resveratrol at the same time. We can’t wait to start thwarting cancer, one beer at a time. Hurry up and get this beer to market boys!
