Scotch whisky may prevent cancer


Scottish single malt whisky could be an even more powerful anti-cancer agent than red wine.

According to a report from Agence France Presse (AFP) a research study presented at the EuroMedLab 2005 conference, currently being held in Scotland, claims that the traditional drink contains high levels of a powerful antioxidant that kills cancer cells.

The AFP report cited research by Jim Swan, MD, and an independent consultant to the global drinks industry, which found that single malt whisky contains "more ellagic acid than red wine".

The acid is an effective "free radical scavenger" that "absorbs" or "eats up" rogue cells that occur in the body during eating.

Bang for the buck you can't beat a 12 year Macallan, still one of my favorites.
