Comments.Text: At work and can't source this at the moment. There are studies about beer that relate darker beers (porters and such) to reduced risk of colon cancer in men when drank in 8oz servings once a day (think red wine and heart disease). However all of these kinds of studies and topics are health related topics and would be better served on a nutrition or medical SE site.
