Calorie Lab has a short article that talks about humulone, a helpful ingredient in hops that has antioxidant properties. The ingredient supposedly can reduce inflammation caused by infection and may prove helpful in fighting against the common cold.

The catch?
It supposedly takes 30 beers to get enough humulone to make a difference. I’m good for about 1/10th that number of beers on a Friday or Saturday night. So scientists will need to extract this from the hops to make a difference.
