despite the interesting beer antioxidant profiles described in the present paper and in the literature, it is important to highlight the importance of a moderate consumption of beer in the context of a healthy dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet [23]. Excessive beer consumption can lead to an excessive body weight, hamper pancreatic function and increase the risk of cancer due to its ethanol content and also due to the low levels of toxic compounds [17].<ref name=borsol/> | despite the interesting beer antioxidant profiles described in the present paper and in the literature, it is important to highlight the importance of a moderate consumption of beer in the context of a healthy dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet [23].

Flavonoids are commonly referred to as antioxidants because of their redox properties, which allow them to act as reducing agents, hydrogen donators and singlet oxygen quenchers. Therefore they may prevent diseases associated to cell oxidative stress, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases and other age-related diseases (for a comprehensive overview on polyphenols and health, see Vassallo, 2008).<ref name=fumgal>Fumi MD, Galli R, Lambri M, Donadini G, De Faveri DM.

Beer is a source of many compounds not only for human nutrition but also for human health [3]. The polyphenols in beer due to their antioxidative features could contribute together with other dietary sources of polyphenols to protection from degenerative changes in the human body and so protect from diseases by moderate beer consummation. They have anticarcinogenic and antifungicide activities [3]. There is also a group of isofl avonoids in beers whose phytoestrogenic effects are now studied [4, 5].<ref name=keljur>Kellner V, Jurková M, Čulík J, Horák T, Čejka P.
