Cancer fighting beer

With this very very l-o-n-g winter almost over, even though it's snowing again in Boston with more expected overnight, my mouth waters just thinking about the coming warm weather barbecues.  Somehow nothing tastes quite so good as a nicely charred steak, medium rare.

Yes, there are carcinogens in the charred part, even more in overcooked beef.  BUT, the great news is that Beer limits the DNA damage according to a recent study in Japan, at least for mice.  So it's beer, not wine, at barbecues for me.
