Three words. Cancer. Fighting. Beer.

A team of researchers at Rice University in Houston is working to create a beer that could fight cancer and heart disease. Taylor Stevenson, a member of the six-student research team and a junior at Rice, said the team is using genetic engineering to create a beer that includes resveratrol, the disease-fighting chemical that's been found in red wine.

Great news for drinkers everywhere! The only downside to the whole idea is that it's going to be an American beer. :p
