As another Saint Patrick's Day Celebration has come and gone this year, I was reminded of an article that came out recently.  Guinness Beer used to have slogans such as "Guinness for Strength" or "Guinness For Health".  The company no longer uses those ads anymore as they tend to shy away from publishing any health benefits about their product.  A recent study done at Pennsylvania State University showed that there is a link to iron deficiency anemia and hearing loss!  Guinness has a high iron content in its beer and may boost the amount of iron in people who are in danger of becoming anemic and potentially protecting their hearing!  

If you like beer like me, here's another reason to say Cheers to Ears!  Guinness for hearing!
