... Hold on now ... we're talking about the skeletal bones here.

So all you beer drinkers out there ... here's one more reason to toss 'em down.

Beer's a bone-builder, say experts - Scotsman.com News

Quote:

BEER is a rich source of a nutrient that can help prevent weak bones – but it depends what type you drink. As one of the nation's favourite tipples, dietary silicon in beer can help cut the chance of developing diseases such as osteoporosis, researchers say.

However, health experts are warning against using beer as a source of the nutrient. And not all beers are the same, with those containing malted barley and hops having higher silicon content than beers made from wheat. According to the study from researchers at the University of California, beer was a major source of dietary silicon – roughly half of the silicon in beer can be readily absorbed by the body.

If that's the case then my chance of getting osteoporosis is slim to none.

Well that explains why the doctor said he tore up drill bits when he did my surgery.

I find that a few beers helps my bone, but more than a dozen weakens it.
