It's True – Guinness Is Good For You!

According to researchers at the University of Wisconsin, the 1920’s advertising slogan “Guinness is Good for You

The original campaign stemmed from market research – when people told the company that they felt good after their pint, the slogan was born.

The team at Wisconsin tested the health-giving properties of stout against lager by giving it to dogs who had narrowed arteries similar to those in heart disease.

They found that those given the Guinness had reduced clotting activity in their blood, but not those given lager.

A daily pint of “the black stuff” could work as well as an aspirin to prevent heart clots that raise the risk of heart attacks. Experts from the University of Wisconsin concluded that drinking lager does not yield the same benefits.

So, I’m now safe in the knowledge that drinking “Liquid Genius” on a regular basis is doing me some good, and I’ll make sure it continues to be an integral part of my pre-race nutrition plan!
