The Department of Food Science and Technology at UC-Davis and its clearly-awesome researchers have decided to make all of our lives a little more enjoyable.

In a study published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, they report that something we’re not going to pretend to understand called dietary silicon, commonly found in delicious beer, is important for bone and tissue health.

What does this mean? Drinking beers that are not exposed to high levels of heat (darker or malty beers) will keep those bones strong, and make you feel good to boot.
