Beer may prevent osteoporosis?

Beer is a significant source of dietary silicon, a key ingredient for increasing bone mineral density, and hence a moderate consumption may help fight osteoporosis. Food science and technology researchers from the University of California-Davis (UC-D) sought to determine the link between beer production methods and the resulting silicon content, concluding that beer is a rich source of dietary silicon. Based on these findings, some studies suggest moderate beer consumption may help fight osteoporosis, a disease of the skeletal system characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. I do not consume Beer very often and it’s only on weekends only. Do you think Beer does help our body in any way?
