Beer Fights Colds
Thursday, December 13, 2012
Not all the news I read this week is depressing. A study done in Japan shows that compound found in beer has anti-viral properties.
In research with scientists at Sapporo Medical University, the compound -- humulone -- was found to be effective in curbing the respiratory syncytial (RS) virus, said the company, which funded the study.

Wait a minute. "Sapporo University"?
Like Sapporo, the Japanese beer brand? Is this a spoof?
It is a public medical school that was founded in 1950. It seems real.
