ATHENS, Greece, July 7 (UPI) -- Drinking beer improved arterial function -- blood vessels become more flexible and blood flowed better to the heart -- within hours, Greek researchers say.
Kalliopi Karatzi, Victoria G. Rontoyanni, Dr. Athanase D. Protogerou and colleagues at the Harokopio University in Athens recruited 17 healthy, non-smoking, men with a median age of 28 and a normal body mass index.
