This article, from my old hometown's birdcage liner of record, the Quad-City Times, confirms what I've always known:
beer is good for you! Well, no worse than any alcoholic drink, anyway, and better than wine in terms of imparting Vitamin B and protein, while still providing the heart-disease kryptonite. That's assuming you stick to one a day, so, nuts. Oh well, that's the science and I'm sticking to it. I will notify you, faithful readers, when the "Funyuns are good for you" article hits the presses.
