Moderate beer consumption has been shown to have beneficial effects on human health, many of which are based on the redox properties of the antioxidant compounds present in beer [5,16,17]. It is known that antioxidants present in beer help to improve certain diseases, for example, moderate beer consumption is associated with an increase in bone density, cardiovascular [18] and immunological benefits and is also associated with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties [19]. Moderate beer intake may also exert higher protection against coronary heart disease than spirits; it has been reported that systolic blood pressure, homocysteine, and several biomarkers of inflammation decreased only after the non-alcoholic beer intervention, and these effects are likely to be attributed to the non-alcoholic fraction of the beer, mainly polyphenols [20].<ref name=marcab>Martinez-Gomez A, Caballero I, Blanco CA.

Alcohol intake in the form of liquor can lead to an increase in serum homocysteine, a heart-related disease that promotes the production of oxygen free radicals and hydrogen peroxide, which can cause vascular endothelial cell damage, platelet adhesion and aggregation and promote low-density lipoprotein oxidation, leading to atherosclerosis and embolism.<ref name=yangao/> In contrast, moderate consumption of beer has not been found to increase serum homocyste ine, probably because beer contains vitamin B6, which can promote the catabolism of homocysteine. | Alcohol intake in the form of liquor can lead to an increase in serum homocysteine, a heart-related disease that promotes the production of oxygen free radicals and hydrogen peroxide, which can cause vascular endothelial cell damage, platelet adhesion and aggregation and promote low-density lipoprotein oxidation, leading to atherosclerosis and embolism.<ref name=yangao/> In contrast, moderate consumption of beer has not been found to increase serum homocyste ine, probably because beer contains vitamin B6, which can promote the catabolism of homocysteine. |
