I came across a rather surprising article about beer being good for your bones. It has been thought that milk is the only drink that could be good for your bones, but recent studies have shown that the dietary silicon in beer contributes to bone mineral density. The only problem is that amount of this silicon varies by the type of beer. Researchers have tested 100 beers and found the content of silicon ranged from 6.4 to 56.5 milligrams per liter. I would stick to calcium and leafy green vegetables!
