DAVIS, Calif. -- A new study shows beer could help make your bones stronger.
Research found that beer is a significant source of dietary silicon, which increases bone mineral density.
The University of California, Davis study examined brewing styles and raw materials to see where the silicon comes from.
Higher levels of the element were found in beers with greater amounts of barley and hops.
