High Hopes for Mineral in Beer May Fall Flat, Despite New Study Feb. 8, 2010

For beer drinkers, a new study that suggests beer is a signi cant source of a mineral key to
maintaining bone density may sound too good to be true.
That may well be, say health experts who overwhelmingly agree the connection may be more
wishful thinking than solid science.
But that may not stop many brew lovers from viewing the new research as an excuse to order
another round. The study of 100 commercial beers in the February issue of the Journal of the
Science of Food and Agriculture by Charles Bamforth and Troy Casey of the University of
California Davis examined the silicon content that results from di erent ingredients and brewing
processes.
"Silicon impacts bone mineral density in humans, and supplementing silicon in the diets of
osteoporitic women increased bone mineral density," the authors wrote. Thus, they surmise,
silicon-rich beer may also help to strengthen bones.
Although a press release issued with the study prominently mentioned the link between silicon
and bone health, the study itself did not look at bone mineral density or analyze any patient data,
according to several researchers contacted by MedPage Today and ABC News.
Also, bananas and some grains have high levels of silicon, but for many, beer appears to be the
richest source.
The authors wrote that they explored the silicon content in beer because the popular beverage
has been identi ed as one of the richest potential sources of dietary silicon in the Western diet.
In the study, the authors concluded that "beer is a substantial source of silicon in the diet" and
that "beers containing high levels of malted barley and hops are richest in silicon," but they did
not attempt to establish a link between beer drinking and bone health.
Experts contacted for comment on the study also cautioned the public against establishing any
such connection.
"To conclude any bone health bene ts from this study would require a great leap," said Dr. Tim
Byers, deputy director of the University of Colorado Cancer Center in Aurora.

Despite that a press release issued with the study prominently mentioned the link
between silicon and bone health, the study itself did not look at bone mineral density
or analyze any patient data.

Despite a press release issued with the study prominently mentioned the link

or analyze any patient data.

Despite the fact that a press release issued with the study prominently mentioned
the link between silicon and bone health, the study itself did not look at bone mineral
density or analyze any patient data.

Inspite of a press release issued with the study prominently mentioned the link
between silicon and bone health, the study itself did not look at bone mineral density
or analyze any patient data.

In spite a press release issued with the study prominently mentioned the link
